John 11:1-5

1Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

2It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.

3So the sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, he whom you love is ill."

4But when Jesus heard it he said, "This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

5Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
