John 11:8

Verse 8 of 57. The 11th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

4But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”

5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

6When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

7Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”

8The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”

9Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

10But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”

11He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”

12The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
