12. The disciples answered, Lord, if he is sleeping, he will recover.
13. However, Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He referred to falling into a refreshing and natural sleep.
14. So then Jesus told them plainly, Lazarus is dead,
15. And for your sake I am glad that I was not there; it will help you to believe (to trust and rely on Me). However, let us go to him.
16. Then Thomas, who was called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, Let us go too, that we may die [be killed] along with Him.
17. So when Jesus arrived, He found that he [Lazarus] had already been in the tomb four days.
