11:1-57 The raising of Lazarus foreshadows Jesus’ own coming death and resurrection. Even the description of Lazarus’ grave (11:38, 44) prefigures Jesus’ grave (20:1, 7). Shortly after this event, Jesus was anointed for burial (12:3) and the hour of his glorification began (12:23).
Note 1 topic: writing-background
In this verse John briefly stops telling the events in the story in order to give background information about Jesus’ conversation with his disciples. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information.
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
ἐκεῖνοι
those
Here, those ones refers to Jesus’ disciples. If it would be more natural in your language, you could state this explicitly, as in the UST.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγει
˱he˲_/is/_speaking
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τῆς κοιμήσεως τοῦ ὕπνου
the sleep ¬the ˱of˲_sleep
John is using of to describe sleep that is slumber. If this is not clear in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “sleep that is actually sleep” or “natural sleep”
