Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
As they went, He entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.
But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Then tell her to help me.”
But Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things.
Now a man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “Lord, he whom You love is sick.”
Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him.”
So when He heard that he was sick, He remained where He was two more days.
His disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone You. Are You going there again?”
For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came from God.
I have declared Your name to them, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
