John 11:5-16

English Standard Version

⁵ Now ^(A)Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. ⁶ So, when he heard that Lazarus^[a] was ill, ^(B)he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. ⁷ Then after this he said to the disciples, ^(C)“Let us go to Judea again.” ⁸ The disciples said to him, ^(D)“Rabbi, ^(E)the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?” ⁹ Jesus answered, ^(F)“Are there not twelve hours in the day? ^(G)If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. ¹⁰ But ^(H)if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not ^(I)in him.” ¹¹ After saying these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus ^(J)has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.” ¹² The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” ¹³ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep. ¹⁴ Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died, ¹⁵ and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” ^16 (K)So Thomas, called the Twin,^[b] said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, ^(L)that we may die with him.”
