Giovanni 11:12

Listen to Giovanni 11:12
12 Laonde i suoi discepoli dissero: Signore, se egli dorme, sarà salvo.

Giovanni 11:12 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:12

Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep
Soundly, quietly, and comfortably, and takes rest in it:

he shall do well;
or "be saved" from the disease; he will be delivered from it; he will recover out of it; it is a sign the distemper is leaving him, and he is growing better, and will be restored to his health again: the Ethiopic version renders it by many words, "he will be well", and "will awake", and "will live". Sound sleep is a sign of health. This they said to, put off their master from going into Judea, fearing the danger he would be exposed unto.

Giovanni 11:12 In-Context

10 Ma, se alcuno cammina di notte, s’intoppa, perciocchè egli non ha luce.
11 Egli disse queste cose; e poi appresso disse loro: Lazaro, nostro amico, dorme; ma io vo per isvegliarlo.
12 Laonde i suoi discepoli dissero: Signore, se egli dorme, sarà salvo.
13 Or Gesù avea detto della morte di esso; ma essi pensavano ch’egli avesse detto del dormir del sonno.
14 Allora adunque Gesù disse loro apertamente: Lazaro è morto.
