John 11:1-8 ▼

1 Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived.

2 (Now it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and wiped his feet dry with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

3 So the sisters sent a message to Jesus, |Lord, look, the one you love is sick.|

4 When Jesus heard this, he said, |This sickness will not lead to death, but to God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.|

5 (Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.)

6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he remained in the place where he was for two more days.

7 Then after this, he said to his disciples, |Let us go to Judea again.|

8 The disciples replied, |Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying to stone you to death! Are you going there again?|
