*
Now a certain man was sick ,
Lazarus of Bethany ,
the town of Mary and her sister Martha .
*
It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair ,
whose brother Lazarus was sick .
*
Therefore the sisters sent to Him ,
saying , "
Lord ,
behold ,
he whom You love is sick ."
*
When Jesus heard that ,
He said , "
This sickness is not unto death ,
but for the glory of God ,
that the Son of God may be glorified through it ."
*
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus .
*
So ,
when He heard that he was sick ,
He stayed two more days in the place where He was .
*
Then after this He said to the disciples , "
Let us go to Judea again ."
*
The disciples said to Him , "
Rabbi ,
lately the Jews sought to stone You ,
and are You going 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 this world .
*
But if one walks in the night ,
he stumbles ,
because the light is not in him ."
*
These things He said ,
and after that He said to them , "
Our friend Lazarus sleeps ,
but I go that I may wake him up ."
*
Then His disciples said , "
Lord ,
if he sleeps he will get well ."
*
However ,
Jesus spoke of his death ,
but they thought that He was speaking about 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 ,
that you may believe .
Nevertheless let us go to him ."
*
Then Thomas ,
who is called the Twin ,
said to his fellow disciples , "
Let us also go ,
that we may die with Him ."
