John 11:10-16 New English Translation (NET)

10. But if anyone walks around at night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

11. After he said this, he added, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. But I am going there to awaken him.”

12. Then the disciples replied, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

13. (Now Jesus had been talking about his death, but they thought he had been talking about real sleep.)

14. Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died,

15. and I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

16. So Thomas (called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”
