Juan 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.

Juan 11:14 In-Context

12 —Señor —respondieron sus discípulos—, si duerme, es que va a recuperarse.

13 Jesús les hablaba de la muerte de Lázaro, pero sus discípulos pensaron que se refería al sueño natural.

14 Por eso les dijo claramente:—Lázaro ha muerto,

15 y por causa de ustedes me alegro de no haber estado allí, para que crean. Pero vamos a verlo.

16 Entonces Tomás, apodado el Gemelo, dijo a los otros discípulos:—Vayamos también nosotros, para morir con él.
