rtha, and her sister, and Lazarus. (6)When
therefore he heard that he was sick, he then abode two days in the
place where he was. (7)Then after this he says to the disciples: Let
us go into Judaea again. (8)The disciples say to him: Master, the Jews
of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? (9)Jesus
answered: Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in
the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world.
(10)But if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light
is not in him.
(11)These things said he; and after this he says to them: Lazarus our
friend has fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
(12)Therefore his disciples said: Lord if he has fallen asleep, he
will be restored. (13)But Jesus had spoken of his death; but they
thought that he said it of taking rest in sleep. (14)Then therefore
Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead. (15)And I am glad for

says to him: I know that he will rise again, in the resurrection at
the last day. (25)Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection, and the
life; he that believes on me, though he be dead, yet shall he live;
(26)and whoever lives and believes on me, shall never die. Believest
thou this? (27)She says to him: Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the
Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world.
(28)And having said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister
secretly, saying: The Teacher is come, and calls for thee. (29)And
