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 Le dijeron entonces sus discípulos: Señor, si duerme, salvo estará.

13 Mas esto decía Jesús de la muerte de él; y ellos pensaron que hablaba del sueño de dormir.

14 Entonces, pues, Jesús les dijo claramente: Lázaro ha muerto;

15 y me alegro por vosotros, que yo no haya estado allí, para que creáis; mas vamos a él.

16 Dijo entonces Tomás, el que se dice el Dídimo, a sus condiscípulos: Vamos también nosotros, para que muramos con él.
