1
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2
It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3
Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick."
4
When Jesus heard that, He said, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it."
5
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6
So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.
7
Then after this He said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."
8
The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?"
9
Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10
But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
11
These things He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up."
