So he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill at Capernaum.

One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

The ill man said in answer, Sir, I have nobody to put me into the bath when the water is moving; and while I am on the way down some other person gets in before me.

And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

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

(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.)

So the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, your dear friend is ill.

So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.
