5
And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
6
when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,
7
then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;'
8
the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'
9
Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;
10
and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'
11
These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'
12
therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
13
but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.
14
Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;
15
and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'
