John 11:12

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

See the chapter Copy

He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

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

But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
