href=\"http:\/\/usccb.org\/bible\/readings\/bible\/john\/11:1\">John 11:1-45<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now a man was ill, Lazarus from Bethany,<br>the village of Mary and her sister Martha.<br>Mary was the one who had anointed the Lord with perfumed oil<br>and dried his feet with her hair;<br>it was her brother Lazarus who was ill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the sisters sent word to him saying,<br>&#8220;Master, the one you love is ill.&#8221;<br>hen Jesus heard this he said,<br>&#8220;This illness is not to end in death,<br>but is for the glory of God,<br>that the Son of God may be glorified through it.&#8221;<br>Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.<br>So when he heard that he was ill,<br>he remained for two days in the place where he was.<br>Then after this he said to his disciples,<br>&#8220;Let us go back to Judea.&#8221;<br>The disciples said to him,<br>&#8220;Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you,<br>and you want to go back there?&#8221;<br>Jesus answered,<br>&#8220;Are there not twelve hours in a day?<br>If one walks during the day, he does not stumble,<br>because he sees the light of this world.<br>But if one walks at night, he stumbles,<br>because the light is not in him.&#8221;<br>He said this, and then told them,<br>&#8220;Our friend Lazarus is asleep,<br>but I am going to awaken him.&#8221;<br>So the disciples said to him,<br>&#8220;Master, if he is asleep, he will be saved.&#8221;<br>But Jesus was talking about his death,<br>while they thought that he meant ordinary sleep.<br>So then Jesus said to them clearly,<br>&#8220;Lazarus has died.<br>And I am glad for you that I was not there,<br>that you may believe.<br>Let us go to him.&#8221;<br>So Thomas, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples,<br>&#8220;Let us also go to die with him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus<br>had already been in the tomb for four days.<br>Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away.<br>And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary<br>to comfort them about their brother.<br>When Martha heard that Jesus was coming,<br>she went to meet him;<br>but Mary sat at home.<br>Martha said to Jesus,<br>&#8220;Lord, if you had been here,<br>my brother would not have died.<br>But even now I know that whatever you ask of God,<br>God will give you.&#8221;<br>Jesus said to her,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Your brother will rise.&#8221;<br>Martha said to him,<br>&#8220;I know he will rise,<br>in the resurrection on the last day.&#8221;<br>Jesus told her,<br>&#8220;I am the resurrection and the life;<br>whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live,<br>and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.<br>Do you believe this?&#8221;<br>She said to him, &#8220;Yes, Lord.<br>I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God,<br>the one who is coming into the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she had said this,<br>she went and called her sister Mary secretly, saying,<br>&#8220;The teacher is here and is asking for you.&#8221;<br>As soon as she heard this,<br>she rose quickly and went to him.<br>For Jesus had not yet come into the village,<br>but was still where Martha had met him.<br>So when the Jews who were with her in the house comforting her<br>saw Mary get up quickly and go out,<br>they followed her,<br>presuming that she was going to the tomb to weep there.<br>When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him,<br>she fell at his feet and said to him,<br>&#8220;Lord, if you had been here,<br>my brother would not have died.&#8221;<br>When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping,<br>he became perturbed and deeply troubled, and said,<br>&#8220;Where have you laid him?&#8221;<br>They said to him, &#8220;Sir, come and see.&#8221;<br>And Jesus wept.<br>So the Jews said, &#8220;See how he loved him.&#8221;<br>But some of them said,<br>&#8220;Could not the one who opened the eyes of the blind man<br>have done something so that this man would not have died?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So Jesus, perturbed again, came to the tomb.<br>It was a cave, and a stone lay across it.<br>Jesus said, &#8220;Take away the stone.&#8221;<br>Martha, the dead man&#8217;s sister, said to him,<br>&#8220;Lord, by now there will be a stench;<br>he has been dead for four days.&#8221;<br>Jesus said to her,<br>&#8220;Did I not tell you that if you believe<br>you will see the glory of God?&#8221;<br>So they took away the stone.<br>And Jesus raised his eyes and said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Father, I thank you for hearing me.<br>I know that you always hear me;<br>but because of the crowd here I have said this,<br>that they may believe that you sent me.&#8221;<br>And when he had said this,<br>He cried out in a loud voice,<br>&#8220;Lazarus, come out!&#8221;<br>The dead man came out,<br>tied hand and foot with burial bands,<br>and his face was wrapped in a cloth.<br>So Jesus said to them,<br>&#8220;Untie him and let him go.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now many of the Jews who had come to Mary<br>and seen what he had done began to believe in him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gospel of John 11:1-45 Now a man was ill, Lazarus from Bethany,the village of Mary and her sister Martha.Mary was the one who had anointed the
