Expanded Bible

The Death of Lazarus

11 A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in the town of Bethany, where Mary and her sister Martha lived [^Cnear Jerusalem to the east, not the same Bethany as in 1:28]. ² Mary was the woman who ·later put perfume on the Lord [^Lanointed the Lord with perfume/ointment/fragrant oil] and wiped his feet with her hair [12:1–8]. Mary’s brother was Lazarus, the man who was now sick. ³ So ·Mary and Martha [^Lthe sisters] sent someone to tell Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”
