John 11:12

Radiate New Testament

His disciples responded, “Lord, if he’s sleeping, that means he’ll get better.”

See the chapter Copy

“Go away,” he told them, “the girl isn’t dead; she’s sleeping.” They all laughed at him.

After he’d said that, Jesus told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I’m going there to wake him up.”

Jesus had meant that Lazarus was dead, but his disciples thought he’d meant that Lazarus had actually fallen asleep.
