These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them,
Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12
The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.
13
Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.
14
Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly,
Lazarus is dead.
15
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;
19
and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20
Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.
21
Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
