4
When Jesus heard
that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7
Then after that he said to
his disciples, Let us go into Judea again.
8
His disciples said unto him, Rabbi, the Jews of late sought to stone thee, and goest thou there again?
9
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble because he sees the light of this world.
10
But he who walks in the night stumbles because there is no light in him.
11
Having said that he said unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
12
Then his disciples said, Lord, if he sleeps, he shall be saved.
13
But Jesus had spoken of his death, and they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14
Then Jesus said unto them plainly, Lazarus has died.
