JOHN 11:1-27
11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary 
and her sister Martha.
11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his 
feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
11:3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou 
lovest is sick.
11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for 
the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in 
the same place where he was.
11:7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
11:8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; 
and goest thou thither again?
11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in 
the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light 
in him.
11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend 
Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
11:13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of 
taking of rest in sleep.
11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may 
believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
11:16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let 
us also go, that we may die with him.
11:17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days 
already.
11:18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
11:19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning 
their brother.
11:20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met 
him: but Mary sat still in the house.
11:21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother 
had not died.
11:22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give 
it thee.
11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the 
resurrection at the last day.
11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that 
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou 
this?
11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the 
Son of God, which should come into the world.
