And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,

In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom.

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

But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.

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

It was the 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.

This He said, and after that He *said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep.”

So Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,

When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.”

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

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

The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also;

So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.
