And Jesus spake of his death: but these supposed that he speaks of the repose of sleep.
He says to them, Give way; for the girl is not dead but sleeps; and they mocked him.
And all wept, and bewailed her: and he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeping.
These things said he: and after this he says to them, Lazarus our friend has been set to sleep; but I go, that I might waken him.
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he has been set to sleep, he shall be saved.
Then therefore Jesus said to them with freedom of speech, Lazarus is dead.
