2 (The Mary whose brother Lazarus was ill was the Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair.)
3 so the sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, he whom you love is ill."
4 When Jesus heard it, he said, "This illness is not to end in death; the end of it is the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby."
5 [Relocated to follow vs 2] Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus;
6 So, when he heard of the illness, he stayed where he was for two days; then,
7 after that, he said to the disciples, "Let us go back to Judaea."
8 "Rabbi," said the disciples, "the Jews were trying to stone you only the other day; are you going back there?"
9 Jesus replied, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If one walks during the day he does not stumble, for he sees the light of this world:
10 but if one walks during the night he does stumble, for the light is not in him."
11 This he said, then added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; I am going to waken him."
12 "Lord," said the disciples, "if he has fallen asleep, he will get better."
13 Jesus, however, had been speaking of his death; but as they imagined he meant natural sleep,
14 he then told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead;
15 and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, that you may believe. Come now, let us go to him."
16 Whereupon Thomas (called 'the Twin') said to his fellow-disciples, "Let us go too, let us die along with him!"
