Seeker Overlay ON

* Now a certain man was sick , Lazarus of Bethany , of the village of Mary and Martha her sister . * And Mary was she who anointed the Lord with perfume , and wiped his feet with her hairwhose brother Lazarus was sick . * The sisters , therefore , sent out unto him , saying Lord , see ! he whom thou tenderly lovest , is sick . * 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 . * Now Jesus loved Martha , and her sister , and Lazarus . * When , therefore , he heard that he was sick , then , indeed , he abode in the place where he was , two days . * Then , after this , he saith unto the disciples Let us be leading on into Judaea , again . * The disciples say unto him Rabbi ! just now , were the Jews seeking to stone theeand , again , goest thou thither ? * 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 ; * But , if one walk in the night , he stumbleth , because , the light , is not in him . * 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 . * The disciples , therefore , said unto him Lord ! if he have fallen asleep , he will recover . * But Jesus had spoken concerning his death ; whereas , they , supposed that , concerning the taking of rest in sleep , he had been speaking . * Jesus , therefore , then , said unto them , plainly , Lazarus , died ; * and I rejoice , for your sakethat ye may believe , that I was not there ; but let us be going unto him . * Thomas , therefore , the one called Didymus , said unto his fellow-disciples Let , us also , be going , that we may die with him .
