se things said he: and after that he
saith to them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I go to waken him up.
(12)Then said his disciples, Lord, if he is asleep, he will recover.
(13)Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they apprehended that he
spake of taking rest in sleep. (14)Then Jesus therefore told them
plainly, Lazarus is dead. (15)And I rejoice on your account that I was
not there, in order that ye may believe; but let us go to him. (16)Then
said Thomas, (called Didymus, the twin,) to his fellow-disciples, Let
us go too, that we may die with him.

(17)Then Jesus, when he came; found that he had already lain in the
tomb four days. (18)Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen
furlongs off: (19)and many of the Jews had come with the women who were
