The next day a great crowd who had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign.
When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
