John 11:7-16
Christian Standard Bible
7 Then after that, he said to the disciples, “Let’s go to Judea(A) again.”
8 “Rabbi,”(B) the disciples told him, “just now the Jews tried to stone you,(C) and you’re going there again?”
9 “Aren’t there twelve hours in a day?” Jesus answered. “If anyone walks during the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.(D) 10 But if anyone walks during the night,(E) he does stumble, because the light is not in him.”
11 He said this, and then he told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep,(F) but I’m on my way to wake him up.”
12 Then the disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.”
13 Jesus, however, was speaking about his death, but they thought he was speaking about natural sleep. 14 So Jesus then told them plainly, “Lazarus has died. 15 I’m glad for you that I wasn’t there so that you may believe. But let’s go to him.”
16 Then Thomas(G) (called “Twin”[a]) said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go too so that we may die with him.”

7 and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”(A)
8 “But Rabbi,”(B) they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you,(C) and yet you are going back?”
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light.(D) 10 It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”
11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend(E) Lazarus has fallen asleep;(F) but I am going there to wake him up.”
12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” 13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.(G)
14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, 15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16 Then Thomas(H) (also known as Didymus[a]) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
