John 11:11-15

11These things he said: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

12Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepeth, he shall do well.

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

14Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

15And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go to him.
