John - ch 11 v 1 - 20
- And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister --
- and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --
- therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'
- and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'
- And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
- when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,
- then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;'
- the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'
- Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;
- and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'
- These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'
- therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
- but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.
- Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;
- and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'
- therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go -- we also, that we may die with him,'
- Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.
- And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,
- and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
- Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
