JOHN 11:6-40

⁶When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was.

⁷Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

⁸The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

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

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

¹¹These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

¹²The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.

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

¹⁴Then Jesus therefore said unto 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 unto him.

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

¹⁷So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

¹⁸Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;

¹⁹and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

²⁰Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.

²¹Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

²²And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.

²³Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

²⁴Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

²⁵Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live:

²⁶and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?

²⁷She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, even he that cometh into the world.

²⁸And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is here, and calleth thee.

²⁹And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him.

³⁰(Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.)

³¹The Jews then which were with her in the house, and were comforting her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going unto the tomb to weep there.

³²Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

³³When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

³⁴and said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see.

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁶The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!

³⁷But some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this man also should not die?

³⁸Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

³⁹Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

⁴⁰Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
