Johannes 11:14 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:14

Then said Jesus unto them plainly
Without a figure, when he perceived they did not understand him, and yet it was a very easy and usual metaphor which he had made use of; but such was the present stupidity of their minds, that they did not take in his meaning: wherefore, without reproaching them with it, he said to them in so many words,

Lazarus is dead.
The Persic version reads, "Lazarus is dead indeed", as he really was.

15 und ich bin froh um euretwillen, daß ich nicht dagewesen bin, auf daß ihr glaubt. Aber laßt uns zu ihm ziehen!
16 Da sprach Thomas, der genannt ist Zwilling, zu den Jüngern: Laßt uns mitziehen, daß wir mit ihm sterben!
