Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
And I have declared unto them your name, and will declare it: that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.
For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
