John 11:1-16

Revised Geneva Translation

11 And a certain man was sick - Lazarus of Bethany (the town of Mary and her sister Martha).

² And this was that same Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

³ Therefore, the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”

⁴ When Jesus heard it, He said, “This sickness does not end in death, but is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God might be glorified by it.”

⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

⁶ And after He had heard that he was sick, He still stayed two days in the same place where He was.

⁷ Then after that, He said to His disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”

⁸ The disciples said to Him, “Master, the Jews sought to stone You recently, and yet You go there again?”

⁹ Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If someone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

¹⁰ “But if someone walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.”

¹¹ He spoke these things. And afterward, He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus sleeps. But I go to wake him up.”

¹² Then His disciples said, “Lord, if he sleeps, he shall heal.”

¹³ However, Jesus spoke of his death. But they thought that He had spoken of the natural sleep.

¹⁴ Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.

¹⁵ “And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

¹⁶ Then said Thomas (who is called Didymus) to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.”
