John 11:12

American King James Version (1999)

Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

See the chapter Copy

He said to them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleeps. And they laughed him to scorn.

These things said he: and after that he said to them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

However, Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
