Living_Oracles(i)
2 (It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with balsam, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 The sisters, therefore, sent to tell Jesus, Master, lo! he whom you love, is sick.
4 Jesus hearing it, said, This sickness will not prove fatal; but conduce to the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Having, then, heard that he was sick, Jesus staid two days in the place where he was.
7 Afterward, he said to the disciples, Let us return to Judea.
8 The disciples answered, Rabbi, but very lately the Jews would have stoned you, and you would return thither?
9 Jesus replied, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not: because he sees the light of the world:
10 but if he walk in the night, he stumbles; because there is no light.
11 Having spoken this, he added, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go to wake him.
12 Then said his disciples, Master, if he sleep, he will recover.
13 Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
14 Then Jesus told them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And on your account I am glad that I was not there, that you may believe; but let us go to him.
16 Then Thomas, that is, Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us go, that we may die with him.
