NASB
"Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep."
— John 11:13, NASB
“Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.”
“Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep. ”
“Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.”
“(Now Jesus had been talking about his death, but they thought he had been talking about real sleep.)”
“But Jesus spoke of his death: and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.”
“Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep.”
“Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.”
"But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
This He said, and after that He *said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep."
The disciples then said to Him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep.
So Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,
and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him."
Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, so that we may die with Him."
