John - ch 11 v 1 - 20
- Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and Martha her sister.
- (And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
- His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
- And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
- Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
- When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.
- Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.
- The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee: and goest thou thither again?
- Jesus 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:
- But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.
- These 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.
- His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
- But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
- Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
- And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, that you may believe: but let us go to him.
- Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.
- Jesus therefore came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave.
- (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)
- And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
- Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.
