John 11:3-5

Amplified Bible

³ So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “Lord, he [our brother and Your friend] whom You love is sick.” ⁴ When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death; but [on the contrary it is] for the glory and honor of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.” ⁵ Now Jesus loved and was concerned about Martha and her sister and Lazarus [and considered them dear friends].
