John 11:13

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

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

See the chapter Copy

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

And all wept and mourned for her. But he said: Weep not; the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.

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.

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

Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
