3. So the sisters sent to Him, saying, Lord, he whom You love [so well] is sick.
4. When Jesus received the message, He said, This sickness is not to end in death; but [on the contrary] it is to honor God and to promote His glory, that the Son of God may be glorified through (by) it.
5. Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. [They were His dear friends, and He held them in loving esteem.]
6. Therefore [even] when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He still stayed two days longer in the same place where He was.
7. Then after that interval He said to His disciples, Let us go back again to Judea.
8. The disciples said to Him, Rabbi, the Jews only recently were intending and trying to stone You, and are You [thinking of] going back there again?
9. Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? Anyone who walks about in the daytime does not stumble, because he sees [by] the light of this world.
