John 11:1-23

¹Now there was a certain man sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.

²It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

³The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

⁴But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.

⁵Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

⁶When therefore he heard, He is sick, he remained two days then in the place where he was.

⁷Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

⁸The disciples say to him, Rabbi, even but now the Jews sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?

⁹Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;

¹⁰but if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.

¹¹These things said he; and after this he says to them, Lazarus, our friend, is fallen asleep, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.

¹²The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he be fallen asleep, he will get well.

¹³But Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.

¹⁴Jesus therefore then said to them plainly, Lazarus has died.

¹⁵And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe. But let us go to him.

¹⁶Thomas therefore, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

¹⁷Jesus therefore on arriving found him to have been four days already in the tomb.

¹⁸Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,

¹⁹and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.

²⁰Martha then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet him; but Mary sat in the house.

²¹Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

²²but even now I know, that whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.

²³Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall rise again.
