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

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

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

These things, he said, and, after this, he saith unto them - Lazarus, our dear friend, hath fallen asleep; but I am going, that I may awake him.

Jesus, therefore, then, said unto them, plainly, - Lazarus, died;

And, these things, having said, with a loud voice, he cried out - Lazarus! Come forth!

Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among the dead.

So they made for him a supper, there; and, Martha, was ministering, but, Lazarus, was one of them who were reclining with him.

The great multitude of the Jews, therefore, got to know that he was, there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but that, Lazarus also, they might see, whom he had raised from among the dead.

But the High-priests took counsel, that Lazarus also, they might put to death;

The multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called, Lazarus, out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead, was bearing witness.
