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

These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

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

Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
