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.

11:14

So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,

Therefore he told them clearly, “Lazarus is dead,
So Jesus clearly said to them, “Lazarus died.

This verse returns to the story after the explanation in verse 13. If there is a way to indicate that in your language, you may want to use it here.

So: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as So here introduces what Jesus said because his disciples wrongly understood him. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

So then (NIV)

Then (NRSV)

Jesus told them plainly: The word plainly here indicates that Jesus now spoke in plain, literal language. He did not speak about death figuratively. For example:

Jesus told them straight/clearly

Jesus explained so that they could understand

Lazarus is dead: Translate this clause using literal language. For example:

Lazarus has died. (GW)

uW Translation Notes:

τότε & εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς παρρησίᾳ

then & said ˱to˲_them ¬the Jesus ˱with˲_plainness

Here, plainly means to say something clearly without using and metaphors or others figures of speech. Because the disciples did not understand the metaphor Jesus told them in 11:11, he told them the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Jesus then said to them in words that they could understand]
