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
This paragraph tells about Jesus’ response to the news that Lazarus was ill.
and then He said to the disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”
Then afterwards Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us(incl) return to Judea.”
After the two days he said to his followers, “We(incl) should go back to Judea now.”
and: This word introduces what Jesus said next. In some languages it may be natural to leave this word implied.
then: This word here means after the two days just mentioned, when Jesus stayed where he was. For example:
after the two days (GW)
He said to the disciples: The word He refers to Jesus. In some languages it is more natural to include his name here. For example:
Jesus said to his disciples (GW)
disciples: The Greek word that the BSB translates as disciples refers to a follower or learner who is in a special relationship with a teacher. The learner commits himself to his teacher to learn from him and live by following his teaching and example. See how you translated this word in 6:3 and 9:2a.
Let us go: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as Let us go is a first-person plural command. Jesus was indicating that he was going and saying that the disciples should go with him. Translate this command in a way that is natural in your language. For example:
We should go
Come(plur) with me
us: The word us is inclusive here and refers to Jesus and the disciples.
back: This word here indicates that Jesus wanted to return to the place where they went previously. For example:
We should return
to Judea: The word Judea is the name of the province or area where Jerusalem and Bethany were. Lazarus and his sisters lived in Judea, and the religious leaders opposed to Jesus held the most power there. It was therefore the province where Jesus was in the most danger.
