John 11:5-16

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

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

⁷Then after that he saith to his disciples, Let us ho into Judea again.

⁸His disciples say to him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

⁹Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walketh in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

¹⁰But if a man walketh in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

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

¹²Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepeth he will do well.

¹³Now Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking rest in sleep.

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

¹⁵And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless, let us go to him.

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