And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”
