(40)And he went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John was at first immersing; and there he abode. (41)And many came to him, and said: John indeed wrought no sign; but all things that John spoke of this man were true. (42)And many believed on him there. XI. NOW a certain one was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, from the village of Mary and Martha her sister. (2)It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. (3)The sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. (4)And Jesus hearing it, said: This sickness is not for death, but for the sake of the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. (5)Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. (6)When therefore he heard that he was sick, he then abode two days in the place where he was. (7)Then after this he says to the disciples: Let us go into Judaea again. (8)The disciples say to him: Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? (9)Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world. (10)But if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him. (11)These things said he; and after this he says to them: Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. (12)Therefore his disciples said: Lord if he has fallen asleep, he will be restored. (13)But Jesus had spoken of his death; but they thought that he said it of taking rest in sleep. (14)Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead. (15)And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that ye may believe. But let us go to him. (16)Therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him. (17)Having come therefore, Jesus found that he had already been four days in the tomb. (18)Now Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off. (19)And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. (20)Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus is coming, went and met him; but Mary sat in the house. (21)Then said Martha to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. (22)But even now, I know that whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give it thee. (23)Jesus says to her: Thy brother will rise again. (24)Martha says to him: I know that he will rise again, in the resurrection at the last day. (25)Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believes on me, though he be dead, yet shall he live; (26)and whoever lives and believes on me, shall never die. Believest thou this? (27)She says to him: Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world.
