Jesus{G2424} answered,{G611} Are there{G1526} not{G3780} twelve{G1427} hours{G5610} in the day?{G2250} If{G1437} a man{G5100} walk{G4043} in{G1722} the day,{G2250} he stumbleth{G4350} not,{G3756} because{G3754} he seeth{G991} the light{G5457} of{G2889} this{G5127} world.{G2889}

But{G1161} if{G1437} a man{G5100} walk{G4043} in{G1722} the night,{G3571} he stumbleth,{G4350} because{G3754} the light{G5457} is{G2076} not{G3756} in{G1722} him.{G846}

Verse 11

These things{G5023} spake he:{G2036} and{G2532} after{G3326} this{G5124} he saith{G3004} unto them,{G846} Our{G2257} friend{G5384} Lazarus{G2976} is fallen asleep;{G2837} but{G235} I go,{G4198} that{G2443} I may awake{G1852} him{G846} out of sleep.{G1852}

Verse 15

And{G2532} I am glad{G5463} for{G1223} your sakes{G5209} that{G2443} I was{G2252} not{G3756} there,{G1563} to the intent{G3754} ye may believe;{G4100} nevertheless{G235} let us go{G71} unto{G4314} him.{G846}

But{G1161} some{G5100} of{G1537} them{G846} said,{G2036} Could{G1410} not{G3756} this man,{G3778} who opened{G455} the eyes{G3788} of him that{G2443} was blind,{G5185} have caused{G4160} that{G2443} this man{G3778} also should{G599} not{G3361} die?{G599}

So{G3767} they took away{G142} the stone.{G3037} And{G2532} Jesus{G2424} lifted{G142} up{G507} his eyes,{G3788} and{G1161} said,{G2036} Father,{G3962} I thank{G2168} thee{G4671} that{G3754} thou heardest{G191} me.{G3450}

Verse 42

And{G1161} I{G1473} knew{G1492} that{G3754} thou hearest{G191} me{G3450} always:{G3842} but{G235} because of{G1223} the multitude{G3793} that standeth around{G4026} I said{G2036} it, that{G2443} they may believe{G4100} that{G3754} thou{G4771} didst send{G649} me.{G3165}

Verse 51

Now{G1161} this{G5124} he{G2036} said not{G3756} of{G575} himself:{G1438} but,{G235} being{G5607} high priest{G749} that{G1565} year,{G1763} he prophesied{G4395} that{G3754} Jesus{G2424} should{G3195} die{G599} for{G5228} the nation;{G1484}
