Johannes 11,13

Jesus
Death and loss

11 Etter at Han hadde sagt dette, fortsatte Han: "Vår venn Lasarus har sovnet; men jeg drar dit for å vekke ham."

12 Hans disipler svarte: "Herre, hvis han sover, vil han bli frisk."

Jesus hadde snakket om hans bortgang, men disiplene trodde Han refererte til naturlig søvn.

14 Så fortalte Han dem klart: "Lasarus er død,

15 og for deres skyld er jeg glad jeg ikke var der, slik at dere kan tro. Men la oss dra til ham."

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
