John 11:12

Then His disciples said, Lord, if he sleeps, he will get well.

See the chapter Copy

He said to them, Go back, for the little girl is not dead, but sleeps. And they laughed Him to scorn.

He said these things; and after that He said to them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps. But I go so that I may awaken him out of sleep.

But Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He had spoken of taking rest in sleep.
