1
Now a certain man was sick named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2
(It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3
Therefore his sisters sent unto Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom Thou lovest is sick."
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 heard therefore that Lazarus was sick, He stayed 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, "Master, the Jews of late sought to stone Thee, and goest Thou thither again?"
9
Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
