John 11:1-16
The Death and Resurrection of Lazarus
11Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from aBethany, the village of Mary and her sister bMartha. 2And it was the Mary who aanointed bthe Lord with perfume, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. 3So the sisters sent to Him, saying, “aLord, behold, bhe whom You love is sick.” 4But when Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness is not to end in death, but is for athe glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.” 5Now Jesus loved aMartha and her sister and Lazarus. 6So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days in the place where He was. 7Then after this He *said to the disciples, “aLet us go to Judea again.” 8The disciples *said to Him, “aRabbi, the Jews were just now seeking bto stone You, and are You going there again?” 9Jesus answered, “aAre 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 anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” 11He said these things, and after that He *said to them, “Our afriend Lazarus bhas fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him.” 12The disciples then said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will 1be saved from his sickness.” 13Now aJesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of 1actual sleep. 14So Jesus then said to them 1plainly, “Lazarus is dead, 15and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.” 16aTherefore Thomas, who is called 1,bDidymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”
