rsv - John:11:1-16

rsv@John:11:1 @ Now a certain man was ill, Laz'arus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

rsv@John:11:2 @ It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Laz'arus was ill.

rsv@John:11:3 @ So the sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, he whom you love is ill."

rsv@John:11:4 @ But when Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death; it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it."

rsv@John:11:5 @ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Laz'arus.

rsv@John:11:6 @ So when he heard that he was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.

rsv@John:11:7 @ Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again."

rsv@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?"

rsv@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

rsv@John:11:10 @ But if any one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

rsv@John:11:11 @ Thus he spoke, and then he said to them, "Our friend Laz'arus has fallen asleep, but I go to awake him out of sleep."

rsv@John:11:12 @ The disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

rsv@John:11:13 @ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep.

rsv@John:11:14 @ Then Jesus told them plainly, "Laz'arus is dead;

rsv@John:11:15 @ and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

rsv@John:11:16 @ Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."
