11. After Jesus said this, he told his disciples, “Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, and I’m going to Bethany to wake him.”
12. His disciples said to him, “Lord, if he’s sleeping, he’ll get well.”
13. Jesus meant that Lazarus was dead, but the disciples thought Jesus meant that Lazarus was only sleeping.
14. Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died,
15. but I’m glad that I wasn’t there so that you can grow in faith. Let’s go to Lazarus.”
