Jn 11:7-16

7Then after this he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.” 8The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and you want to go back there?”^c 9Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in a day? If one walks during the day,^d he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.^e 10But if one walks at night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”^* 11He said this, and then told them, “Our friend Lazarus is asleep, but I am going to awaken him.” 12So the disciples said to him, “Master, if he is asleep, he will be saved.” 13But Jesus was talking about his death, while they thought that he meant ordinary sleep.^f 14So then Jesus said to them clearly, “Lazarus has died. 15And I am glad for you that I was not there, that you may believe. Let us go to him.” 16So Thomas, called Didymus,^* said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go to die with him.”^g
