Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep
“Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep; but I go to awaken him.”
Ask whether Jesus fulfilled what follows from “has fallen asleep”; the disciples took it of ordinary sleep.
Greek
Λάζαρος ὁ φίλος ἡμῶν κεκοίμηται· ἀλλὰ πορεύομαι ἵνα ἐξυπνίσω αὐτόν.
Ζητητέον εἰ πεπλήρωκεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὸ ἐπιφερόμενον τῷ κεκοίμηται· οἱ μαθηταὶ περὶ τῆς κοιμήσεως τοῦ ὕπνου ἐνόησαν.
