3. The sisters sent a message to the Lord and told him that his good friend Lazarus was sick.
4. When Jesus heard this, he said, “His sickness won't end in death. It will bring glory to God and his Son.”
5. Jesus loved Martha and her sister and brother.
6. But he stayed where he was for two more days.
7. Then he said to his disciples, “Now we will go back to Judea.”
8. “Teacher,” they said, “the people there want to stone you to death! Why do you want to go back?”
9. Jesus answered, “Aren't there twelve hours in each day? If you walk during the day, you will have light from the sun, and you won't stumble.
10. But if you walk during the night, you will stumble, because you don't have any light.”
11. Then he told them, “Our friend Lazarus is asleep, and I am going there to wake him up.”
