As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

Yeshua answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Miriam and her sister, Martha.

Now Yeshua loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

Many of the Judeans had joined the women around Martha and Miriam, to console them concerning their brother.

Then when Martha heard that Yeshua was coming, she went and met him, but Miriam stayed in the house.

Therefore Martha said to Yeshua, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

Now Yeshua had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.

Yeshua said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
