John 11:13

King James 2000

However Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

See the chapter Copy

He said unto them, Depart: for the girl is not dead, but sleeps. And they laughed him to scorn.

And all wept, and mourned her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.

These things said he: and after that he said unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleeps, he shall do well.

Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
