He said this, and then he added, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him.”
In context
9Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? Whoever walks in the daytime does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10But whoever walks at night stumbles, because there is no light in him.” 11He said this, and then he added, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him.” 12The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.” 13Jesus had been speaking of his death, but they thought he meant ordinary sleep.
