John 11:1-9

1 And there was a sick man [Forsooth there was some sick man], Lazarus of Bethany, of the castle of Mary and Martha, his sisters.
2 And it was Mary, which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hairs, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Therefore his sisters sent to him, and said [saying], Lord, lo! he whom thou lovest, is sick.
4 And Jesus heard, and said to them, This sickness is not to the death, but for the glory of God, that man's Son be glorified by him [that God's Son be glorified by it].
5 And Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
6 Therefore when Jesus heard, that he was sick, then he dwelled in the same place two days.
7 And after these things he said to his disciples, Go we again into Judaea.
8 The disciples say to him, Master [Rabbi, or Master], now the Jews sought to stone thee, and again goest thou thither?
9 Jesus answered, Whether there be not twelve hours of the day? If any man wander in the day, he hurteth not, for he seeth the light of this world. [Jesus answered, Whether there be not twelve hours in the day? Whosoever walketh in the day, he hurteth not, for he seeth the light of this world.]
