1
Now there was a certain [man] sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
2
It was [the] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4
But when Jesus heard [it], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
5
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6
When therefore he heard, He is sick, he remained two days then in the place where he was.
7
Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8
The disciples say to him, Rabbi, [even but] now the Jews sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?
9
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;
10
but if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.
11
These things said he; and after this he says to them, Lazarus, our friend, is fallen asleep, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
