John 11:9-20 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

9. Jesus responded: "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

10. But if he walks in the nighttime, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

11. He said these things, and after this, he said to them: "Lazarus our friend is sleeping. But I am going, so that I may awaken him from sleep."

12. And so his disciples said, "Lord, if he is sleeping, he shall be healthy."

13. But Jesus had spoken about his death. Yet they thought that he spoke about the repose of sleep.

14. Therefore, Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus has died.

15. And I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

16. And then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go, too, so that we may die with him."

17. And so Jesus went. And he found that he had already been in the tomb for four days.

18. (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia.)

19. And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, so as to console them over their brother.

20. Therefore, Martha, when she heard that Jesus was arriving, went out to meet him. But Mary was sitting at home.
