6. However, when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two more days.
7. Then after this, He said to His disciples, “Let’s go up to Judea again.”
8. “Rabbi,” the disciples say to Him, “just now the Judean leaders were trying to stone You! And You’re going back there again?”
9. Yeshua answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours in the day? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of the world.
10. But if a man should walk around at night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11. After He said this, He tells them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I’m going there to wake him up.”
12. So the disciples said to Him, “Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get better.”
13. Now Yeshua had spoken about his death, but they thought He was talking about ordinary sleep.
14. Then Yeshua told them clearly, “Lazarus is dead!
15. I’m glad for your sake I wasn’t there, so that you may believe. Anyway, let’s go to him!”
16. Then Thomas called the Twin said to the other disciples, “Let’s go too, so that we may die with Him!”
17. So when Yeshua arrived, He discovered that Lazarus had been in the tomb already for four days.
18. Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,
19. and many of the Judeans had come to Martha and Miriam to console them about their brother.
20. When Martha heard that Yeshua was coming, she went out to meet Him; but Miriam sat in the house.
