1. Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2. (Now it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3. So the sisters sent word to him, saying, “Lord, behold, the one whom you love is sick.”
4. And when he heard it, Jesus said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5. (Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.)
6. So when he heard that he was sick, then he remained in the place where he was two days.
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 seeking just now to stone you, and are you going there again?”
9. Jesus replied, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks around in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
