2 Mary would later pour perfume on the Lord. She would also wipe his feet with her hair. Her brother Lazarus was sick in bed.
3 So the sisters sent a message to Jesus. "Lord," they told him, "the one you love is sick."
4 When Jesus heard this, he said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory. God's Son will receive glory because of it."
5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 But after he heard Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days.
7 Then he said to his disciples, "Let us go back to Judea."
8 "But Rabbi," they said, "a short time ago the Jews tried to kill you with stones. Are you still going back there?"
