John 11:7–16
7 Then after this He * said to the disciples, “aLet us go to Judea again.”
8 The disciples * said to Him, “aRabbi, the Jews were just now seeking bto stone You, and are You going there again?”
9 Jesus answered, “aAre there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 “But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11 This He said, and after that He * said to them, “Our afriend Lazarus bhas fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep.”
12 The disciples then said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will 1recover.”
13 Now aJesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of 1literal sleep.
14 So Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
15 and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.”
16 aTherefore Thomas, who is called 1bDidymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”
| * | A star (*) is used to mark verbs that are historical presents in the Greek which have been translated with an English past tense in order to conform to modern usage. The translators recognized that in some contexts the present tense seems more unexpected and unjustified to the English reader than a past tense would have been. But Greek authors frequently used the present tense for the sake of heightened vividness, thereby transporting their readers in imagination to the actual scene at the time of occurence. However, the translators felt that it would be wise to change these historical presents to English past tenses. |
