The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Jesus, however, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom He had raised from the dead.
This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.
Now it became widely known among the Jews that Jesus was there; but they came not only on His account, but also in order to see Lazarus whom He had brought back to life.
