When Jesus arrived at Bethany near Jerusalem, his friend Lazarus had been dead for four days. Jesus went to the burial place with Martha and Mary, sisters of the deceased man. Soon, a crowd gathered. Can you imagine the joy of Martha and Mary when Jesus raised Lazarus back to life?—Read John 11:21-24, 38-44.
Martha was already aware of the good news about the dead. She knew that Jehovah will resurrect the dead to live on earth again.—Read Job 14:14, 15.

The resurrection Martha thought Jesus was talking about is the resurrection of the last days when Jesus will return to collect the Christians in the world & take them back to heaven while those left on earth go through a terrible & horrific tribulation period before Jesus comes back again with the new Jerusalem & sets up his kingdom for another 1000 yrs.

There was one at the same time of Jesus' resurrection. The Bible states the saints of old were seen walking the streets of Jerusalem during the 40 days Jesus was appearing to the apostles. These saints rose with Jesus when he left. There is the second resurrection coming soon.

Martha was to busy with life , so much so she was missing out on what is important , where as Mary her sister enjoyed listening to Jesus , it does not mean that Martha was a bad person
