But let us go to him.” 16 ( P)So Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, ( Q)that we may die with him.” I Am the Resurrection and the Lifeġ7 Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb ( R)four days. 14 Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died, 15 and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. 10 But ( M)if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not ( N)in him.” 11 After saying these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus ( O)has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.” 12 The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep. 7 Then after this he said to the disciples, ( H)“Let us go to Judea again.” 8 The disciples said to him, ( I)“Rabbi, ( J)the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?” 9 Jesus answered, ( K)“Are there not twelve hours in the day? ( L)If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 6 So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, ( G)he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. It is for ( E)the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”ĥ Now ( F)Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, ( C)he whom you love is ill.” 4 But when Jesus heard it he said, ( D)“This illness does not lead to death. 2 ( B)It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. ![]() a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of ( A)Mary and her sister Martha. John Dear is a priest, activist, lecturer, and author of thirty books including Thomas Merton Peacemaker You Will Be My Witnesses (with art by William Hart McNichols), Mohandas Gandhi: Essential Writings Daniel Berrigan: Essential Writings and an autobiography, A Persistent Peace (Doubleday/Image) and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. In doing so, we will fulfill our vocations as disciples of Jesus and enter the fullness of life today. If Lazarus represents humanity, the story of his raising is about the God of Life confronting the power of death itself, calling humanity to walk out of its tomb-the culture of violence and war-and into "the new life of resurrection peace."Īccording to Dear, the Gospel urges us to carry on this liberating work of Jesus today: to remove the stone that traps us in violence, to call each other out of our tombs, to unbind one another and set each other free to live in peace. While traditionally read as a story about friendship and faith, Dear shows through his extended meditations how it also summarizes the persistent theme of the Gospel. The raising of Lazarus in John's Gospel is one of the most dramatic and poignant episodes in scripture.
