John 11:1-10 ▼

1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

2 It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

3 So the sisters sent [word] to Him, saying, |Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.|

4 But when Jesus heard [this], He said, |This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.|

5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

6 So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days [longer] in the place where He was.

7 Then after this He said to the disciples, |Let us go to Judea again.|

8 The disciples said to Him, |Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?|

9 Jesus answered, |Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

10 |But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.|
