John 11:11-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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

¹² His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

¹³ But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.

¹⁴ Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
