The next day the large crowd that had come to the Passover Festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, the man he had raised from death.
That was why the crowd met him—because they heard that he had performed this miracle.
A large number of people heard that Jesus was in Bethany, so they went there, not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from death.
