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.
