Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was ill. So the sisters sent a message to Jesus, \u2018Lord, he whom you love is ill.\u2019 But when Jesus heard it, he said, \u2018This illness does not lead to death; rather it is for God\u2019s glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.\u2019 Accordingly, though Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, after having heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.<\/p>\n
Then after this he said to the disciples, \u2018Let us go to Judea again.\u2019 The disciples said to him, \u2018Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and are you going there again?\u2019 Jesus answered, \u2018Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day do not stumble, because they see the light of this world. But those who walk at night stumble, because the light is not in them.\u2019 After saying this, he told them, \u2018Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to awaken him.\u2019 The disciples said to him, \u2018Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be all right.\u2019 Jesus, however, had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was referring merely to sleep. Then Jesus told them plainly, \u2018Lazarus is dead. For your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.\u2019 Thomas, who was called the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples, \u2018Let us also go, that we may die with him.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
