John 11:5-16

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

⁶When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.

⁷Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.

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

⁹Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world:

¹⁰But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.

¹¹These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.

¹²His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

¹³But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.

¹⁴Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.

¹⁵And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, that you may believe: but let us go to him.

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