John 11:1-29
- 1
- Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
- 2
- (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
- 3
- Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
- 4
- 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.
- 5
- Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
- 6
- When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
- 7
- Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
- 8
- His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
- 9
- 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.
- 10
- But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
- 11
- 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.
- 12
- Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
- 13
- Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
- 14
- Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
- 15
- And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
- 16
- Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, 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 nigh 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 thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
- 22
- But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
- 23
- Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
- 24
- Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
- 25
- Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
- 26
- And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
- 27
- She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
- 28
- And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
- 29
- As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
