There was a man who had fallen sick. His name was El‘azar, and he came from Beit-Anyah, the village where Miryam and her sister Marta lived.

So the sisters sent a message to Yeshua, “Lord, the man you love is sick.”

On hearing it, he said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may receive glory through it.”

Yeshua loved Marta and her sister and El‘azar;

They said, “Trust in the Lord Yeshua, and you will be saved — you and your household!”
