in order that the Son of God may be glorified by it."
011:005 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
011:006 When, however, He heard that Lazarus was ill, He still remained
two days in that same place.
011:007 Then, after that, He said to the disciples, "Let us
return to Judaea."
011:008 "Rabbi," exclaimed the disciples, "the Jews have just been trying
to stone you, and do you think of going back there again?"
011:009 "Are there not twelve hours in the day?" replied Jesus.
"If any one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble--
because he sees the light of this world.
011:010 But if a man walks by night, he does stumble, because the light
is not in him."
011:011 He said this, and afterwards He added, "Our friend Lazarus
is sleeping, but I will go and wake him."
011:012 "Master," said the disciples, "if he is asleep he will recover."
011:013 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought He referred
to the rest taken in ordinary sleep.
011:014 So then He told them plainly,
011:015 "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there,
in order that you may believe. But let us go to him."
011:016 "Let us go also," Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow disciples,
"that we may die with him."
011:017 On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been
three days in the tomb.
011:018 Bethany was near Jerusalem, the distance being a little less
than two miles;
011:019 and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary,
having come to express sympathy with them on the death
of their brother.
