SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:1–16: Jesus’ friend Lazarus died

In this section, a friend of Jesus, a man named Lazarus, became sick and died. Jesus waited until after he died before he went to Lazarus’ town. Jesus told his disciples that they should go because Lazarus was asleep and he wanted to wake him. They did not understand, so Jesus had to tell them that Lazarus was dead.

Here are other possible section headings:

Lazarus got sick and died

Jesus waited until after Lazarus died before going to him

Paragraph 11:11–16

Jesus explained to his disciples that Lazarus had died and that he now wanted to go to Bethany in Judea.

11:12a

His disciples replied, “Lord, if he is sleeping,

His disciples replied: See how you translated disciples in 11:7. In some languages it may be natural to make it clear whose disciples they were.

Lord: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Lord means “master.” It was a polite way for disciples to address their teacher. See how you translated this in 11:3b.

if he is sleeping: This clause states a condition that is assumed to be true. The disciples had just heard Jesus say that Lazarus had fallen asleep. They understood him literally. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

If he is asleep (GNT)

if he is sleeping (NLT)

11:12b

he will get better.”

he will get better: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as he will get better is more literally “he will be saved.” Here it refers to recovery from illness. The disciples understood that Lazarus had gone to sleep. They thought that if he was sleeping, this would help him to recover from his illness. Here are other ways to translate this verb:

he will get well (GNT)

he will be all right (NRSV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

εἰ κεκοίμηται

if ˱he˲_˓has_been˒_fallen_asleep

See how you translated fallen asleep in the previous verse.
