When Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness will not end in death. It is for the glory of God, so that through it the Son of God may be glorified.”
In context
2This Mary — whose brother Lazarus was ill — was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and dried his feet with her hair. 3So the sisters sent word to him: “Lord, the one you love is ill.” 4When Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness will not end in death. It is for the glory of God, so that through it the Son of God may be glorified.” 5Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6Yet when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed where he was two days longer.
