John 11:1-16 - Lazarus Dies
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister. 2 And Mary was she who anointed the Lord with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair - whose brother Lazarus was sick. 3 The sisters, therefore, sent out unto him, saying - Lord, see! he whom thou tenderly lovest, is sick.
4 But Jesus hearing, said - This sickness, is not unto death, but for the glory of God, - that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6 When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, then, indeed, he abode in the place where he was, two days. 7 Then, after this, he saith unto the disciples - Let us be leading on into Judaea, again.
8 The disciples say unto him - Rabbi! just now, were the Jews seeking to stone thee - and, again, goest thou thither?
9 Jesus answered - Are there not, twelve hours, in the day? If one walk in the day, he doth no stumble, because, the light of this world, he seeth; 10 But, if one walk in the night, he stumbleth, because, the light, is not in him. 11 These things, he said, and, after this, he saith unto them - Lazarus, our dear friend, hath fallen asleep; but I am going, that I may awake him.
12 The disciples, therefore, said unto him - Lord! if he have fallen asleep, he will recover.
13 But Jesus had spoken concerning his death; whereas, they, supposed that, concerning the taking of rest in sleep, he had been speaking. 14 Jesus, therefore, then, said unto them, plainly, - Lazarus, died; 15 and I rejoice, for your sake - that ye may believe, - that I was not there; but let us be going unto him.
16 Thomas, therefore, the one called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples - Let, us also, be going, that we may die with him.
