If anyone walks in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. <A name="11"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>But if he walks in the nighttime, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” <A name="12"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>He said these things, and after this, he said to them: “Lazarus our friend is sleeping.

Yet they thought that he spoke about the repose of sleep. <A name="15"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Therefore, Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus has died. <A name="16"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>And I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe.

But he was still at that place where Martha had met him. <A name="32"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Therefore, the Jews who were with her in the house and who were consoling her, when they had seen that Mary rose up quickly and went out, they followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb, so that she may weep there.” <A name="33"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Therefore, when Mary had arrived to where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and she said to him. “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” <A name="34"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>And then, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had arrived with her weeping, he groaned in spirit and became troubled. <A name="35"></a><span class="red"><p><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” <A name="36"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>And Jesus wept. <A name="37"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>Therefore, the Jews said, “See how much he loved him!” <A name="38"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>But some of them said, “Would not he who opened the eyes of one born blind have been able to cause this man not to die?”<p> <A name="39"></a><p class="hdg">Jesus Raises Lazarus<br /><span class="cross">(<a href ="../acts/9.htm#36">Acts 9:36–43</a>)</span><p><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>Therefore, Jesus, again groaning from within himself, went to the tomb.

Then, lifting up his eyes, Jesus said: “Father, I give thanks to you because you have heard me. <A name="43"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span>And I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the people who are standing nearby, so that they may believe that you have sent me.” <A name="44"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>When he had said these things, he cried in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” <A name="45"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/11-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>And immediately, he who had been dead went forth, bound at the feet and hands with winding bands.
