John 11:1

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

The sisters, therefore, sent this message to Jesus--'Master, your friend is ill';

Just at that time she was taken ill, and died; and they had washed her body and laid it out in an upstairs room.

Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.

There a supper was given in honor at which Martha waited, while Lazarus was one of those present at the table.

Near his gateway there had been laid a beggar named Lazarus, who was covered with sores,

Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.

Then he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.

When they had almost reached Jerusalem, as far as Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on two of his disciples.

As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
