Jesus replied, Are [there] not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks around in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10
But if anyone walks around in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.
11
He said these [things], and after this he said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I can awaken him."
12
So the disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well."
13
(Now Jesus had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was speaking about {real sleep}.)
14
So Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus has died,
15
and I am glad {for your sake} that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."
16
Then Thomas (the one who is called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go also, so that we may die with him."
Jesus the Resurrection and the Life
17 So [when he] arrived, Jesus found he had already [been] four days in the tomb.

(Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia.
19
So many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary in order to console them concerning their brother.)
