1Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3These sisters therefore sent to Him, saying, “Lord, one You love is sick!”
4When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness won’t end in death, but for God’s glory, so that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
5Now Jesus sincerely loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6Yet, when He heard that Lazarus was sick, Jesus stayed where He was for two more days.
7After this, He said to the disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
8The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just recently trying to stone You! Are You really going back there?”
9Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks by day doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10But anyone who walks by night stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
11After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
12The disciples therefore said to Him, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will recover.”
13Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was talking about literal sleep.
14So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
15and I am glad for your sakes that I wasn’t there, so that you may believe — but let’s go to him.”
16Therefore Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go, too, that we may die with Him.”
17When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.
18Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away,
19and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed home.
21Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
22Even now I know that God will give you whatever You ask of Him.”
23Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
