Now (
note :)
Christ ,
in restoring the rotting body of his friend to life ,
shows an example both of his mighty power ,
and also of his singular good will toward men :
and this is also an image of the resurrection to come .(:

a certain [
man ]
was sick , [
named ]
Lazarus ,
of Bethany ,
the Where his sisters dwelt .
town of Mary and her sister Martha .
* (
And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with oyntment ,
and wiped his feete with her heare ,
whose brother Lazarus was sicke .)
*
Therefore his sisters sent vnto him ,
saying ,
Lord ,
beholde ,
he whome thou louest ,
is sicke .
*
When Iesus heard it ,
he saide ,
This sickenes is not vnto death ,
but for the glorie of God ,
that the Sonne of God might be glorified thereby .
*
Nowe Iesus loued Martha and her sister ,
and Lazarus .
*
*
Then after that ,
said he to his disciples ,
Let vs goe into Iudea againe .
*

Jesus answered ,
Are there not (

twelve hours in the day ?
If any man walk in the day ,
he stumbleth not ,
because he seeth the light of this world .
*
But if a man walke in the night ,
hee stumbleth ,
because there is no light in him .
*
These things said he :
and after that he saith unto them ,
Our friend Lazarus (
note :)
The Jews used a milder kind of speech and called death «
sleep »,
and this same manner of speech is found in other languages ,
who call the place of burial where the dead are laid waiting for the resurrection a «
sleeping place ».(:
note )
sleepeth ;
but I go ,
that I may awake him out of sleep .
*
Then said his disciples ,
Lord ,
if he sleepe ,
he shalbe safe .
*
Howbeit ,
Iesus spake of his death :
but they thought that he had spoken of the naturall sleepe .
*
Then saide Iesus vnto them plainely ,
Lazarus is dead .
*
And I am glad for your sakes ,
that I was not there ,
that ye may beleeue :
but let vs go vnto him .
*
Then saide Thomas (
which is called Didymus )
vnto his felow disciples ,
Let vs also goe ,
that we may die with him .
