"And a certain beggar named Lazarus was thrown at his door.

"The rich man also died, and was buried. And as he was tormented in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.

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

"'Remember my son.' said Abraham, 'that you had in your lifetime all your good things, and in the same way Lazarus his evil things; but now here he is comforted, and you are in anguish.

Now a man named Lazarus was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha??2 it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him."

"Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, let us go to him."

so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb.

When he had said this he cried with a great voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"

So then Jesus came six days before the Passover, to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

So they gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served it; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined with him at table.

When the great mass of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came not alone because of Jesus, but to see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,

Meanwhile the crowd which was with him when he summoned Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead, kept witnessing.
