John 11:1-3

New Testament for Everyone

The death of Lazarus

11 There was a man in Bethany named Lazarus, and he became ill. Bethany was the village of Mary and her sister Martha. ² (This was the Mary who anointed the Lord with myrrh, and wiped his feet with her hair. Lazarus, who was ill, was her brother.)

³ So the sisters sent messengers to Jesus.

“Master,” they said, “the man you love is ill.”
