John 11:1–25

Now a certain man was sick, named ^aLazarus, of ^bBethany, the town of ^cMary and her sister Martha. ²(It ^dwas that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) ³Therefore his sisters sent unto him, ^esaying, Lord, behold, he whom thou ^flovest is sick. ⁴When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, ^gbut for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. ⁵Now Jesus ^floved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. ⁶When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still ^hin the same place where he was. ⁷Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go ^hinto Judaea again. ⁸His disciples say unto him, ⁱMaster, ^kthe Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? ⁹Jesus answered, ^lAre there not twelve hours in the day? ^mIf any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. ¹⁰But ⁿif a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. ¹¹These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our ^ffriend Lazarus ^osleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. ¹²Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall ^pdo well. ¹³Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. ¹⁴Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. ¹⁵And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. ¹⁶Then said ^qThomas, ^rwhich is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

¹⁷Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave ^sfour days already. ¹⁸Now ^bBethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, ^||about fifteen furlongs off: ¹⁹And many of the Jews came ^tto Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. ²⁰Then Martha, ^uas soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary ^xsat still in the house. ²¹Then said Martha unto Jesus, ^yLord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. ²²But I know, that even now, ^zwhatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. ²³Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. ²⁴Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again ^ain the resurrection at the last day. ²⁵Jesus said unto her, I am ^bthe resurrection, and the ^clife: ^dhe that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
