and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.
011:003 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, behold, he for
whom you have great affection is sick."
011:004 But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death,
but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."
011:005 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
011:006 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days
in the place where he was.
011:007 Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let's go
into Judea again."
011:008 The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just trying
to stone you, and are you going there again?"
011:009 Jesus answered, "Aren't there twelve hours of daylight?
If a man walks in the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees
the light of this world.
011:010 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light
isn't in him."
011:011 He said these things, and after that, he said to them,
"Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going
so that I may awake him out of sleep."
011:012 The disciples therefore said, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep,
he will recover."
011:013 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke
of taking rest in sleep.
011:014 So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.
011:015 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you
may believe. Nevertheless, let's go to him."
011:016 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus,{"Didymus"
means "Twin"} said to his fellow disciples, "Let's go also,
that we may die with him."
011:017 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb
four days already.
011:018 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia{15 stadia
is about 2.8 kilometers or 1.7 miles} away.
011:019 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary,
to console them concerning their brother.
011:020 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him,
but Mary stayed in the house.
011:021 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here,
my brother wouldn't have died.
011:022 Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
011:023 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
011:024 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the
resurrection at the last day."
011:025 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
011:026 Whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
Do you believe this?"
011:027 She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you
are the Christ, God's Son, he who comes into the world."
011:028 When she had said this, she went away, and called Mary,
