5. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6. When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was.
7. Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
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.
16. Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
