2Lazarus raised
Lazarus of Bethany had been in the tomb four days when Jesus arrived. Jesus had the stone taken away and called him out, and the dead man came out still bound in burial wrappings.
Anointed at Bethany
Six days before the Passover, at a supper in Bethany, Mary poured costly ointment on Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. Mark describes an anointing at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper.
