The Death of Lazarus

11 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany,^(A) the village of Mary and her sister Martha.^(B)

³ So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love^(A) is sick.”

⁴ When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory^(A) so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”

⁶ So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days,

⁷ and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”^(A)

¹¹ After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend^(A) Lazarus has fallen asleep;^(B) but I am going there to wake him up.”
