* And there was a certain sick one , Lazarus of Bethany , the town of Mary and her sister Martha . * (And it was [that ] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped His feet with her hair , whose brother Lazarus was sick .) * Then his sisters sent to Him , saying , Lord , behold , he whom You love is sick . * When Jesus heard , He said , This sickness is not to death , but for the glory of God , so that the Son of God might be glorified by it . * And Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus . * Therefore , when He had heard that he was sick , then indeed He remained two days in the place where He was . * Then after that He said to the disciples , Let us go into Judea again . * The disciples said to Him , Rabbi , the Jews lately have sought to stone You , and do You go there again ? * Jesus answered , Are there not twelve hours in the day ? If anyone walks in the day , he does not stumble because he sees the light of the world . * But if anyone walks in the night , he stumbles because there is no light in him . * He said these things ; and after that He said to them , Our friend Lazarus sleeps . But I go so that I may awaken him out of sleep . * Then His disciples said , Lord , if he sleeps , he will get well . * But Jesus spoke of his death , but they thought that He had spoken of taking rest in sleep . * Then Jesus said to them plainly , Lazarus is dead . * And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there , in order that you may believe . But let us go to him . * Then Thomas (he being called Twin ) said to his fellow disciples , Let us also go , that we may die with Him .
