Notes: In some languages sleep is expressed by an idiom, for example, ‘his soul had wandered away’ or ‘his eyes had disappeared.’ Though an expression such as ‘his soul had wandered away’ might appear in some languages to have misleading theological implications, it really means only ‘to sleep.’|In RV JHN 11:13 · LV JHN 11:13 · Read together JHN 11:13 κοίμησις is combined with ὕπνος apparently to stress the fact that the sleep was an ordinary or natural sleep.
