John 11:5-7, 11, 36

Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, but oddly, when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed on where he was for two more days. After the two days, he said to his disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”

He said these things, and then announced, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. I’m going to wake him up.”

The Jews said, “Look how deeply he loved him.”
