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.'
11. These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'
12. therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
13. but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.
14. Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;
15. and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'
16. therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go-- we also, that we may die with him,'
17. Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.
