1. Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2. And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3. The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4. But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
