John 11

Reading John chapter 11 in the Young's Literal Translation, public-domain text from 1898.

Verses 1–10

1 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister--

2 and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing--

3 therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'

4 and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

5 And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

6 when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

7 then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;'

8 the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'

9 Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

10 and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'
