John 11:10-22

¹⁰However, if he walks at night, he will stumble because the light is not in him.”

¹¹He said these things, and after these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may wake him out of sleep.”

¹²The disciples therefore said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

¹³Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he was speaking about the sleep of resting.

¹⁴Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.

¹⁵I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there so that you may believe. Let us go to him.”

¹⁶Thomas, who was called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go so that we may die with Jesus.”

¹⁷When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

¹⁸Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.

¹⁹Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them about their brother.

²⁰Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

²¹Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

²²Even now, I know that whatever you ask from God, he will give to you.”
