John 11:8-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

8. The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and you want to go back there?”

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

10. But if one walks at night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

11. He said this, and then told them, “Our friend Lazarus is asleep, but I am going to awaken him.”

12. So the disciples said to him, “Master, if he is asleep, he will be saved.”

13. But Jesus was talking about his death, while they thought that he meant ordinary sleep.

14. So then Jesus said to them clearly, “Lazarus has died.

15. And I am glad for you that I was not there, that you may believe. Let us go to him.”
