John 11:1-14
-
1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
-
2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
-
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
-
4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
-
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
-
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
-
7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
-
8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
-
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.
