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

It was that Mary which anointed Jesus with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick,

Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.

This said he. And after that he said unto them, "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth, but I go to wake him out of sleep."

Then said Jesus unto them, plainly, "Lazarus is dead,

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus come forth."

Then Jesus, six days before Easter, came to Bethany: where Lazarus which was dead was, whom Jesus raised from death.

There they made him a supper, and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

Much people of the Jews had knowledge that he was there. And they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also whom he raised from death.

The high priests therefore held a council that they might put Lazarus to death also,

The people that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from death, bare record.
