John 11:1-8 ▼

1 Now there was a certain sick man, Lazarus of Bethania, from the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

2 And Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was sick.

3 Therefore, his sisters sent to him, saying: “Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.”

4 Then, upon hearing this, Jesus said to them: “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”

5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.

6 Even so, after he heard that he was sick, he then still remained in the same place for two days.

7 Then, after these things, he said to his disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”

8 The disciples said to him: “Rabbi, the Jews are even now seeking to stone you. And would you go there again?”
