nsb - John:11:1-16

nsb@John:11:1 @ A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived at Bethany where his sisters Mary and Martha lived.

nsb@John:11:2 @ This is the same Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick.

nsb@John:11:3 @ The sisters therefore sent for the Lord, They said: »The one for whom you have great affection is sick.«

nsb@John:11:4 @ When Jesus heard it he said: »This sickness will not end in death. It is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.«

nsb@John:11:5 @ Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

nsb@John:11:6 @ When he heard the news he stayed where he was for two days.

nsb@John:11:7 @ After this he said to the disciples: »Let us go to Judea again.«

nsb@John:11:8 @ The disciples said: »Rabbi, the Jews were seeking to stone you and you go there?«

nsb@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered: »Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walks in the day he does not stumble because he sees the light of this world.

nsb@John:11:10 @ »But if a man walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.«

nsb@John:11:11 @ Then he told them: »Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. I go to wake him out of sleep.«

nsb@John:11:12 @ The disciples said, »Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he would recover.«

nsb@John:11:13 @ Jesus spoke of his death. They thought he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

nsb@John:11:14 @ Then Jesus said plainly: »Lazarus is dead!«

nsb@John:11:15 @ »I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, for it will help you believe. Let us go to him.«

nsb@John:11:16 @ Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: »Let us also go that we may die with him.«
