John 11:13

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

Now Yeshua had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

See the chapter Copy

he said to them, *Make room, because the girl isn't dead, but sleeping.* They were ridiculing him.

All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, *Don't weep. She isn't dead, but sleeping.*

He said these things, and after that, he said to them, *Our friend, El'azar, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.*

The talmidim therefore said, *Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.*

So Yeshua said to them plainly then, *El'azar is dead.
