And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, Loose him, and let him go.

And He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.

And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
