The talmidim told him, "Rabbi, the Yehudim were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"

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."
16
T'oma therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow talmidim, "Let's go also, that we may die with him."
17
So when Yeshua came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

Now Beit-Anyah was near Yerushalayim, about fifteen stadia away.
