Lazarus Dies at Bethany

11 Now a man was sick, Lazarus, from Bethany,^(A) the village of Mary and her sister Martha.^(B)

¹⁹ Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother. ²⁰ As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet Him. But Mary remained seated in the house.

² So^(A) they gave a dinner for Him there; Martha^(B) was serving them, and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him. ³ Then Mary took a pound of fragrant oil—pure and expensive nard—anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped His feet with her hair.^(C) So the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
