John 11:5-16

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.
