John 11:1–9

¹Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.↗

²It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.↗

³The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”↗

⁴But when Jesus heard it, he said,“This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”↗

⁵Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.↗

⁶When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.↗

⁷Then after this he said to the disciples,“Let’s go into Judea again.”↗

⁸The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”↗

⁹Jesus answered,“Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.↗
