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

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

Now Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

These things He spake; and after this He saith to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going to awake him out of sleep."

Then, therefore, Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus died.

And, having spoken these words, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"

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

They, therefore, made Him a supper there; and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with Him.

The great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

But the high priests consulted, that they might slay Lazarus also;

The multitude, therefore, that was with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was bearing testimony.
