Augustine of Hippo, on John 11:1

“Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and Martha her sister.”

“(de Verb. Dom. s. lii) A cruel sickness had seized Lazarus; a wasting fever was eating away the body of the wretched man day by day: his two sisters sat sorrowful at his bedside, grieving for the sick youth continually. They sent to Jesus: Therefore his sisters sent unto Him, saying, Lord, behold he whom Thou lovest is sick.”
