Here is today's reading from...

The Gospel of John, Chapter 11

1. Do you remember Mary, who poured the costly perfume on Jesus' feet and wiped them with her hair? Well, her brother Lazarus, who lived in Bethany with Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
3. So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, "Sir, your good friend is very, very sick."
4. But when Jesus heard about it he said, "The purpose of his illness is not death, but for the glory of God. I, the Son of God, will receive glory from this situation."
5. Although Jesus was very fond of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus,
6. he stayed where he was for the next two days and made no move to go to them.
7. Finally, after the two days, he said to his disciples, "Let's go to Judea."
8. But his disciples objected. "Master," they said, "only a few days ago the Jewish leaders in Judea were trying to kill you. Are you going there again?"
9. Jesus replied, "There are twelve hours of daylight every day, and during every hour of it a man can walk safely and not stumble.
10. Only at night is there danger of a wrong step, because of the dark."

John's Gospel

The Gospel of John is an eye-witness account of the life of Jesus the Christ.

This account begins before the beginning of the world, and finishes with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.





Who Was John?

John was the brother of James and they were the sons of Zebedee. Zebedee, James and John were business partners of Andrew and Peter in Galilee.

Before meeting Jesus Christ, and being called to follow Him, they earned their living as fishermen in Galilee.



The Ending

After the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, John became an apostle, travelling widely. It is said that he was boiled in oil before being exiled to the prison-island of Patmos.

While there, he wrote 3 letters to the church. He also wrote the book of Revelation, which many believe foretells the events of the end of this age.
