John 11:12

American Standard Version 2015

The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.

See the chapter Copy

he said, {\cf6 Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.} And they laughed him to scorn.

These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, {\cf6 Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.}

Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.
