John 11:15

13 They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.

14 So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,

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

16 Then Thomas called Didymus said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”

17 When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already spent four days in the tomb.
