Then His disciples said, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep he will get well."
He said to them, "Make room, for the girl has not died, but she is sleeping." And they were ridiculing Him.
These things He said, and after this He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awaken him."
However, Jesus spoke about his death, but they thought that He was speaking about resting in sleep.
