John 11:1

1: A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters, Mary and Martha.

As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a village where a woman named Martha welcomed them into her home.
Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord's feet, listening to what he taught.
But Martha was worrying over the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, "Lord, doesn't it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me."
But the Lord said to her, "My dear Martha, you are so upset over all these details!
There is really only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it--and I won't take it away from her."

Those in the crowd who had seen Jesus call Lazarus back to life were telling others all about it.

So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, "Lord, the one you love is very sick."

About that time Hezekiah became deathly ill, and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to visit him. He gave the king this message: "This is what the LORD says: Set your affairs in order, for you are going to die. You will not recover from this illness."
When Hezekiah heard this, he turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,
"Remember, O LORD, how I have always tried to be faithful to you and do what is pleasing in your sight." Then he broke down and wept bitterly.
But before Isaiah had left the middle courtyard, this message came to him from the LORD:
"Go back to Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Tell him, `This is what the LORD, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and three days from now you will get out of bed and go to the Temple of the LORD.

Then he said, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but now I will go and wake him up."

At his door lay a diseased beggar named Lazarus.
As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man's table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores.
Finally, the beggar died and was carried by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried,
and his soul went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Lazarus in the far distance with Abraham.
"The rich man shouted, 'Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in these flames.'
