1
And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister --
2
and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --
3
therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'
4
and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'
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;'
