John 11:2-4

Contemporary English Version

The Death of Lazarus

11 ^1-2 (A) A man by the name of Lazarus was sick in the village of Bethany. He had two sisters, Mary and Martha. This was the same Mary who later poured perfume on the Lord's head and wiped his feet with her hair. ³ The sisters sent a message to the Lord and told him that his good friend Lazarus was sick.

⁴ When Jesus heard this, he said, “His sickness won't end in death. It will bring glory to God and his Son.”
