and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,

And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted and thou art in anguish.

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

And it was that Mary 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.

These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

And when he had thus spoken, 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.

So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him.

The common people therefore of the Jews learned that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus'sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death;

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