* Now a certain man was sick , named Lazarus , of Bethany , the town of Mary and her sister Martha . * (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment , and wiped his feet with her hair , whose brother Lazarus was sick .) * Therefore his sisters sent to him , saying , Lord , behold , he whom you love is sick . * When Jesus heard that , he said , This sickness is not to death , but for the glory of God , that the Son of God might be glorified thereby . * Now Jesus loved Martha , and her sister , and Lazarus . * When he had heard therefore that he was sick , he stayed two days still in the same place where he was . * Then after that said he to his disciples , Let us go into Judaea again . * His disciples say to him , Master , the Jews of late sought to stone you ; and go you thither again ? * Jesus answered , Are there not twelve hours in the day ? If any man walk in the day , he stumbles not , because he sees the light of this world . * But if a man walk in the night , he stumbles , because there is no light in him . * These things said he : and after that he said to them , Our friend Lazarus sleeps ; but I go , that I may awake him out of sleep . * Then said his disciples , Lord , if he sleep , he shall do well . * However , Jesus spoke of his death : but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep . * Then said Jesus to them plainly , Lazarus is dead . * And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there , to the intent you may believe ; nevertheless let us go to him . * Then said Thomas , which is called Didymus , to his fellow disciples , Let us also go , that we may die with him .
