Lazarus is ill 1 A certain man, Lazarus, was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. (2This was the Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped his feet with her hair. Her brother Lazarus was ill.) 3So the sisters sent word to Jesus, saying, “Lord, the one whom you love is ill.” 4When he heard this, Jesus said, “This illness isn’t fatal. It’s for the glory of God so that God’s Son can be glorified through it.” 5Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus. 6When he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed where he was. After two days, 7he said to his disciples, “Let’s return to Judea again.” 8The disciples replied, “Rabbi, the Jewish opposition wants to stone you, but you want to go back?” 9Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours in the day? Whoever walks in the day doesn’t stumble because they see the light of the world. 10But whoever walks in the night does stumble because the light isn’t in them.” 11He continued, “Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I am going in order to wake him up.” 12The disciples said, “Lord, if he’s sleeping, he will get well.” 13They thought Jesus meant that Lazarus was in a deep sleep, but Jesus had spoken about Lazarus’ death. 14Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died. 15For your sakes, I’m glad I wasn’t there so that you can believe. Let’s go to him.” 16Then Thomas (the one called Didymus) said to the other disciples, “Let us go too so that we may die with Jesus.” John 15:15 I don’t call you servants any longer, because servants don’t know what their master is doing. Instead, I call you friends, because everything I heard from my Father I have made known to you. https://temtube.com/
