John 11:1-8 ▼

1 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister --

2 and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --

3 therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'

4 and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

5 And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

6 when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

7 then after this, he saith to the disciples, 'We may go to Judea again;'

8 the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'
