John - ch 11 v 1 - 20
- Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
- (It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
- Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
- When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
- Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
- When therefore he had heard that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
- Then after that he saith to his disciples, Let us ho into Judea again.
- His disciples say to him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
- Jesus 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.
- But if a man walketh in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
- These 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.
- Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepeth he will do well.
- Now Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking rest in sleep.
- Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
- And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless, let us go to him.
- Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
- Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
- (Now Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs distant.)
- And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
- Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat in the house.
