John 11:1-8 ▼

1 At this time a man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

2 (Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was to anoint the Lord with perfume and wipe His feet with her hair.)

3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one You love is sick.”

4 When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

6 So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,

7 and then He said to the disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”

8 “Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews just tried to stone You, and You are going back there?”
