John Chapter 11 Verse 6When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

‹But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father› [is] ‹in me, and I in him.›

Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,

And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.

And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.

And many believed on him there.

Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

(It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

When Jesus heard [that], he said, ‹This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.›

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

Then after that saith he to [his] disciples, ‹Let us go into Judaea again.›

[His] disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

Jesus answered, ‹Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.›

‹But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.›

These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, ‹Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.›

Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

Then said Jesus unto them plainly, ‹Lazarus is dead.›

‹And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.›

Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
