John 11:1 - Forerunner Commentary

John 11:1

1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of ^aMary and her sister Martha.

2 ^aIt was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

3 Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”

4 When Jesus heard that, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

6 So, when He heard that he was sick, ^aHe stayed two more days in the place where He was.
