Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 11
⁷ Then after this He said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."
⁸ The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?"
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 one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
¹¹ These things He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up."
¹² Then His disciples said, "Lord, if he sleeps he will get well."
¹³ However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep.
¹⁴ Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.
¹⁵ And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him."
¹⁶ Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with Him."
¹⁷ So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
