9. Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10. But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11. After saying these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.”
12. The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13. Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep.
14. Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died,
15. and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16. So Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
17. Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.
18. Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off,
19. and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother.
20. So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house.
21. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22. But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.”
