And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.

And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
