John 11:9-19

9 Jesus answered , Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth , because there is no light in him.

11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth ; but I go , that I may awake him out of sleep .

12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep , he shall do well .

13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

14 Then * said Jesus 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 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go , that we may die with him.

17 Then when Jesus came , he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary *, to comfort them concerning their brother.
