So the sisters sent a messenger to tell Jesus, “Lord, your close friend is sick.”
Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus.
I correct and discipline everyone I love. Take this seriously, and change the way you think and act.
Erastus stayed in the city of Corinth and I left Trophimus in the city of Miletus because he was sick.
One disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, was near him at the table.
The Jews said, “See how much Jesus loved him.”
After Jesus said this, he told his disciples, “Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, and I’m going to Bethany to wake him.”
Those who lead holy lives on earth are the noble ones who fill me with joy.
God said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I will show you.”
Lazarus, who lived in Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived, was sick.
When the Lord saw her, he felt sorry for her. He said to her, “Don’t cry.”
(Mary was the woman who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. Her brother Lazarus was the one who was sick.)
Martha told Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
You call me teacher and Lord, and you’re right because that’s what I am.
