3 So the two sisters sent someone to tell Jesus about Lazarus, saying, “Lord, the one you love very much is very sick.”
4 They hoped that Jesus would come , but when Jesus heard the message, he said, “His being sick will not end in his dying. Instead, it will result in people realizing how great God is, and that I, God's son, may be honored {that people may honor me, God's son}, because of what I will do .”
5 Jesus loved Martha and her younger sister Mary and Lazarus.
