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,

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

João 11:14 In-Context

12 Seus discípulos responderam: “Senhor, se ele dorme, vai melhorar”.
13 Jesus tinha falado de sua morte, mas os seus discípulos pensaram que ele estava falando simplesmente do sono.
14 Então lhes disse claramente: “Lázaro morreu,
15 e para o bem de vocês estou contente por não ter estado lá, para que vocês creiam. Mas vamos até ele”.
16 Então Tomé, chamado Dídimo, disse aos outros discípulos: “Vamos também para morrermos com ele”.
