Now Yeshua loved Marta, and her sister, and El'azar.
6
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed at that time two days in the place where he was.
7
Then after this he said to the talmidim, "Let's go into Yehudah again."
8
The talmidim told him, "Rabbi, the Yehudim were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
9
Yeshua answered, "Aren't there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10
But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn't in him."
11
He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, El'azar, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep."
12
The talmidim therefore said, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
13
Now Yeshua had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14
So Yeshua said to them plainly then, "El'azar is dead.
15
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let's go to him."
