So the disciples said to Him, “Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get better.”
He said, “Go away, for the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” And they began jeering at Him.
After He said this, He tells them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I’m going there to wake him up.”
Now Yeshua had spoken about his death, but they thought He was talking about ordinary sleep.
