Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 11
⁹ Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
¹⁰ But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
¹¹ This He said, and after that He *said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep."
¹² The disciples then said to Him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
¹³ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep.
¹⁴ So Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,
¹⁵ and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him."
¹⁶ Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, so that we may die with Him."
¹⁷ So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
¹⁸ Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off;
¹⁹ and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
