(This Miryam, whose brother El`azar had become sick, is the one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.)
3
So the sisters sent a message to Yeshua, "Lord, the man you love is sick."
4
On hearing it, he said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory, so that the Son of God may receive glory through it."
5
Yeshua loved Marta and her sister and El`azar;
6
so when he heard he was sick, first he stayed where he was two more days;
7
then, after this, he said to the talmidim, "Let's go back to Y'hudah."
8
The talmidim replied, "Rabbi! Just a short while ago the Judeans were out to stone you -- and you want to go back there?"
9
Yeshua answered, "Aren't there twelve hours of daylight? If a person walks during daylight, he doesn't stumble; because he sees the light of this world.
10
But if a person walks at night, he does stumble; because he has no light with him."
11
Yeshua said these things, and afterwards he said to the talmidim, "Our friend El`azar has gone to sleep; but I am going in order to wake him up."
12
The talmidim said to him, "Lord, if he has gone to sleep, he will get better."
