The next day the great crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
It was also because they heard that he had performed this sign that the crowd went to meet him.
When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
