A Certain Man

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.-John 11:1-16***Sometime after Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and born in Bethlehem, Judea, into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin, Jesus lived with Joseph and Mary in Egypt, according to the instructions Joseph heard from an angel of the Lord. When Joseph received instructions from an angel of the Lord to return, and after Joseph received another divine warning, the family settled in Nazareth, Joseph and Mary's hometown in Galilee. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Twelve specifically identified Israelite men, Simon Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, James (Alphaeus's son), Thomas (Didymus), Matthew (Levi), James (Alphaeus's son), Lebbaeus (Judas?) Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananaean (the Zealot), and Judas Iscariot, were disciples and apostles of Jesus the Christ, and Jesus sent them on a mission only among the Israelites. When Jesus was in Jerusalem, Judea, on the grounds of the temple of the Lord, and was explaining his identity, and his relationship to his Father, the Lord God in heaven, the Israelite listeners prepared to stone Jesus. During an earlier incident on the grounds of the temple, a group of Israelite listeners prepared to stone Jesus after Jesus identified himself as the light of the world, and spoke to them about the Lord God, and their identity, and Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) their ancestor. Bethany was in Judea, near Bethlehem and Jerusalem. When Jesus was with his disciples on the other side of the Jordan River and received a message regarding Lazarus, Jesus went to Bethany. Before Jesus prayed to the Lord God and commanded Lazarus, who was dead, to come out of the tomb, Jesus identified himself as the resurrection and the life.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,  There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.-Matthew 26:6-7

And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.-Mark 14:3
