¹ A man named Lazarus, who lived in Bethany, became sick. Bethany was the town where Mary and her sister Martha lived. ² (This Mary was the one who poured the perfume on the Lord's feet and wiped them with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was sick.) ³ The sisters sent Jesus a message: "Lord, your dear friend is sick." ⁴ When Jesus heard it, he said, "The final result of this sickness will not be the death of Lazarus; this has happened in order to bring glory to God, and it will be the means by which the Son of God will receive glory." ⁵ Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. ⁶ Yet when he received the news that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days. ⁷ Then he said to the disciples, "Let us go back to Judea." ⁸ "Teacher," the disciples answered, "just a short time ago the people there wanted to stone you; and are you planning to go back?" ⁹ Jesus said, "A day has twelve hours, doesn't it? So those who walk in broad daylight do not stumble, for they see the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if they walk during the night they stumble, because they have no light." ¹¹ Jesus said this and then added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I will go and wake him up." ¹² The disciples answered, "If he is asleep, Lord, he will get well." ¹³ Jesus meant that Lazarus had died, but they thought he meant natural sleep. ¹⁴ So Jesus told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead, ¹⁵ but for your sake I am glad that I was not with him, so that you will believe. Let us go to him." ¹⁶ Thomas (called the Twin) said to his fellow disciples, "Let us all go along with the Teacher, so that we may die with him!"
