John 11:1-6

Lazarus Dies

1 A man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived.

2 Mary would later pour perfume on the Lord. She would also wipe his feet with her hair. Her brother Lazarus was sick in bed.

3 So the sisters sent a message to Jesus. "Lord," they told him, "the one you love is sick."

4 When Jesus heard this, he said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory. God's Son will receive glory because of it."

5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

6 But after he heard Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days.
