1Now a certain man named Lazarus was ill; he was of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2(The Mary whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who put perfumed oil on the Lord and made his feet dry with her hair.)
3So the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, your dear friend is ill.
4When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.
5Now Jesus had love in his heart for Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.
7Then after that time he said to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
