1. NOW there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and Martha her sister.
2. (And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3. His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4. And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
5. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
6. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.
