John 11:11
Compare all
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? aIf anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the blight of this world.  
10 But aif one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”  
11 These things He said, and after that He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus asleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.”  
12 Then His disciples said, “Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.”
13 However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep.
14 Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him.”
16 Then aThomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.”  

I Am the Resurrection and the Life

17 So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.  
19 And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Now Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
21 Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 But even now I know that awhatever You ask of God, God will give You.”  
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha said to Him, a“I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”  
25 Jesus said to her, “I am athe resurrection and the life. bHe who believes in Me, though he may cdie, he shall live.

John 11:11

Is fallen asleep (kekoimhtai). Perfect passive indicative of koimaw, old verb to put to sleep. Common as a metaphor for death like our cemetery.

I go (poreuomai). Futuristic use of the present tense as in John 14:2.

That I may awake him out of sleep (ina ecupnisw auton). Purpose clause with ina and the first aorist active subjunctive of ecupnizw, a late compound (ec, upnov, sleep) for the older afupnizw, here only in the N.T. See Job 14:12 where also it occurs along with koimaomai.
