In context
9 Iesus answered, Are there not twelue houres in the day? If a man walke in the day, hee stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10 But if a man walke in the night, hee stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
11 These things spake he, and after, he said vnto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth: but I goe to wake him vp.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepe, he shalbe safe.
13 Howbeit, Iesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of the naturall sleepe.
14 Then saide Iesus vnto them plainely, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes, that I was not there, that ye may beleeue: but let vs go vnto him.
