John 11:2-16 In fact, it was the Mary who at one time rubbed and anointed the Lord (the Master) with perfumed oil (ointment) and then wiped off His feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, had been continuing ill (weak; sick).

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ² In fact, it was the Mary who at one time rubbed and anointed the Lord (the Master) with perfumed oil (ointment) and then wiped off His feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, had been continuing ill (weak; sick). ³ So the sisters dispatched a message to Jesus, which was saying, "O Lord (Master), take note, he whom You habitually regard as a friend (constantly treat with fondness and affection; continuously cherish and love as a congenial associate) continues being weak and sick." ⁴ Now Jesus, hearing [this], said, "This weakness (sickness; infirmity) is not directed or leading toward death, but to the contrary [is] over [the issue of] God's glory (or: reputation), to the end that through it God's Son would be glorified (may receive a good reputation and a manifestation which calls forth praise)." ⁵ Now Jesus was loving and continued in loyal appreciation of Martha, her sister, and Lazarus. ⁶ However, when He heard that he continues being sick and weak, He then, indeed, remained two days within [the] place in which He was [staying]. ⁷ Thereupon – after this – He is saying to His disciples, "We should proceed going into Judea again." ⁸ The disciples are then saying to Him, "Rabbi, at the present time the Jews (= leaders of the Jewish religion) have been seeking to stone You – and You are proceeding to go there again?" ⁹ Jesus decidedly replied, "Are there not twelve hours [in] the day (= of daylight)? If anyone may habitually walk around (= live his life) within the Day, he does not constantly stumble (cut toward or strike against [something]), because he continually sees (looks at; observes) the Light of this world (of this cosmos; this system's light; or: = because he progressively perceives the light and understanding that guides this System and secular society). ¹⁰ "Yet, if anyone should habitually walk around within the Night, he constantly stumbles (strikes against [things]), because the Light is not (does not exist) within him." ¹¹ He said these things, and after this He presently says to them, "Our friend Lazarus has been made to sleep (or: has been lulled to sleep; has been caused to sleep; or, as a middle: has fallen asleep; has found repose), but even so, I am setting out to proceed in journeying to the end that (or: so that) I can awaken him out of [his] sleep." ¹² Therefore the disciples said to Him, "O Lord (Master), since (or: if) he has been caused to sleep (or: fallen asleep) he will be restored to health (made to recover; saved; rescued; delivered)." ¹³ Now Jesus had spoken (made a declaration; = used the phrase) about his death, yet they suppose (imagine; think) that He is saying [it] concerning (or: is talking about) the taking rest and repose of sleep. ¹⁴ Therefore, Jesus then plainly and openly said to them, "Lazarus died. ¹⁵ "And because of you folks I am progressively rejoicing that I was not there, so that you can trust (or: would believe). But now, we can (or: should) be going to him." ¹⁶ Then Thomas, the one being normally called " [the] Twin" (or: Didymus), said to [his] fellow disciples, "We should also be going, so that we can die with Him."
