And a certain poor man, named Lazarus, was stretched out at his door, full of wounds,

And in hell, being in great pain, lifting up his eyes he saw Abraham, far away, and Lazarus on his breast.

And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame.

But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.

Now a certain man named Lazarus was ill; he was of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

(The Mary whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who put perfumed oil on the Lord and made his feet dry with her hair.)

Now Jesus had love in his heart for Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.

These things said he: and after that he said to them, Lazarus our friend is at rest; but I go so that I may make him come out of his sleep.

Then Jesus said to them clearly, Lazarus is dead.

Now when Jesus came, he made the discovery that Lazarus had been put into the earth four days before.

Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead.

So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.

Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;

Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.
