6 So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.
7 Then after that time he said to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8 The disciples said to him, Master, the Jews were attempting only the other day to have you stoned, and are you going back there again?
9 Then Jesus said in answer, Are there not twelve hours in the day? A man may go about in the day without falling, because he sees the light of this world.
10 But if a man goes about in the night, he may have a fall because the light is not in him.
11 These things said he: and after that he said to them, Lazarus our friend is at rest; but I go so that I may make him come out of his sleep.
12 Then his disciples said to him, Lord, if he is resting he will get well.
