John 11:1-16
The Death of Lazarus

1 Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

1:

2 (It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

2:

3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

3:

4 When Jesus heard [that], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

4:

5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

5:

6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

6:

7 Then after that saith he to [his] disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

7:

8 [His] disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

8:

9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

9:

10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

10:

11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

11:

12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

12:

13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

13:

14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

14:

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

15:

16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

16:
