John 11:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Mary was the one who had anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and dried his feet with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was ill. 3 So the sisters sent word to him, saying, “Master, the one you love is ill.” 4 When Jesus heard this he said, “This illness is not to end in death,[a] but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”(A)
