And a beggar named Lazarus was put down at his gate covered with sores

And in Hades he looked up, tormented as he was, and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus beside him.

And he called to him and said, 'Father Abraham! take pity on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in torment, here in the flames!'

And Abraham said, 'My child, remember that you received your blessings in your lifetime, and Lazarus had his misfortunes in his; and now he is being comforted here, while you are in anguish.

Now a man named Lazarus was sick; he lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

It was the Mary who poured perfume upon the Master and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed on for two days in the place where he was,

He told them this, and then he added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him."

"Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may learn to believe in me. But let us go to him."

When Jesus arrived he found that Lazarus had been buried for four days.

But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of that blind man, have kept Lazarus from dying?"

After saying this he called out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"

Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.

They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha waited on them, while Lazarus was at the table with him.

A great many of the Jews found out that he was there, and they came to Bethany not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

But the high priests planned to kill Lazarus also,

The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was telling about it.
