Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2
It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.
3
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick."
4
But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God`s Son may be glorified by it."

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
