The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus therefore came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign.
