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."

So Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,

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

Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, so that we may die with Him."

So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

So the Jews were saying, "See how He loved him!"

So Jesus, again being deeply moved within, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

"I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me."

So from that day on they planned together to kill Him.

So they were seeking for Jesus, and were saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think; that He will not come to the feast at all?"

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he was to report it, so that they might seize Him.

So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

Therefore Jesus said, "Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.

So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.

So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him."

So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, "An angel has spoken to Him."

So Jesus said to them, "For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

"While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light." These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.

But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.
