12. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleeps, he shall do well.
13. However Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14. Then said Jesus unto them plainly,
15. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent you may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16. Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17. Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18. Now Bethany was near unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19. And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20. Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21. Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
