And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores;

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

And he cried 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 tormented in this flame.

But Abraham said, Son, remember, that thou in thy life-time receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Now one Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.

(It was that Mary, who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick) Therefore his sisters sent to him,

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. So after he had heard that he was sick,

Thus he spake, and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go to awake him.

Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sake I was not there, that ye may believe:

And having spoken thus, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

Then Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he had raised from the dead.

There they made him a supper, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them who sat at table with him.

Now much people of the Jews knew that he was there, and came not only for the sake of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

But the chief priests consulted, how to kill Lazarus also.

And the people who were with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.
