The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him.
Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
