“Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.”
So the sisters sent word to Jesus, 'Lord, the one you love is sick' — the message from Mary and Martha is brief but theologically loaded: they address Jesus as 'Lord' (kyrios) and appeal to His love (philos, affection) for Lazarus. This intimate appeal expects immediate action, reflecting the assumption that Jesus will come quickly to heal His friend.
