John 11:11-16

11 Thus he spoke, and then he said to them, "Our friend Laz'arus has fallen asleep, but I go to awake him out of sleep."

12 The disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep.

14 Then Jesus told them plainly, "Laz'arus is dead;

15 and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

16 Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."
