The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

11:1NOW a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

11:2(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

11:3Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

11:4When 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.

11:5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

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

11:7Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judæa again.

11:8His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

11:9Jesus 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.

11:10But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

11:11These 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.

11:12Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

11:13Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

11:14Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

11:15And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

11:16Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
