John 11:13-23 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
13
Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.1
14
So then he told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,
15
and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."
16
Then Thomas2 (called Didymus) said to the rest of the disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."
Jesus Comforts the Sisters
17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.3 18 Bethany4 was less than two milesa from Jerusalem, 19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.5 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.6 21 "Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died.7 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask."8 23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."Scripture quoted by permission.
