8. The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
9. Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.
11. These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12. The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.
13. Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.
14. Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
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.
