On the next day a great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.
The crowd went and met Him for this reason: They heard that He had performed this sign.
When many of the Jews learned that He was there, they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
