Lazarus is Sick; Jesus Delays

1

And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister--

2

and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing--

3

therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'

4

and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

5

And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

6

when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

7

then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;'

8

the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'

9

Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

10

and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'

11

These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'

12

therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'

13

but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

14

Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;

15

and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'

16

therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go--we also, that we may die with him,'
