Lazarus Raised form the Dead
John 11:1-46
11:1Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
11:2It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
11:3The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
11:4But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
11:5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
11:6When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
11:7Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
11:8The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
11:9Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
11:10But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
11:11He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
11:12The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
