Lazarus' sister living at the time of the New Testament
Mary of Bethany
The sister of Martha and Lazarus of Bethany. She “sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word,” and Jesus said she “has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:39–42). When Lazarus died she fell at Jesus’ feet, weeping, and Jesus was deeply moved and wept (John 11:28–35). Six days before the Passover she took a pound of costly nard and anointed Jesus’ feet, wiping them with her hair, and the house was filled with the fragrance (John 12:1–3).
