Now a certain Lazarus, from Bethany of the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.

And Mary was the woman who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

He spoke these things, and after this he says to them, Our friend Lazarus has become asleep, but I go that I may awake him.

Therefore Jesus then said to them plainly, Lazarus died.

And having said these things, he cried out with a great voice, Lazarus, come out.

Therefore six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, the man who died whom he raised from the dead.

So they made a supper for him there, and Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those who sat dining with him.

Therefore a great multitude of the Jews knew that he is there. And they came, not only because of Jesus, but that they might also see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

But the chief priests decided that they should kill Lazarus also,

Therefore the multitude, the one that was with him when he called Lazarus from the sepulcher, and raised him from the dead, testified.
