Then Jesus said to them clearly, Lazarus is dead.
And he said this openly. And Peter took him, and was protesting.
Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly.
Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep.
And because of you I am glad I was not there, so that you may have faith; but let us go to him.
All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.
His disciples said, Now you are talking clearly and not in veiled language.
