He said these things, and after this he said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I can awaken him."

So the disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well."

So Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus has died,

and I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

So Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

So Jesus was no longer walking openly among the Jews, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.

Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the surrounding country before the Passover, so that they could purify themselves.

So they were looking for Jesus, and were speaking with one another while standing in the temple courts, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"
