Bede the Venerable, on John 11:11
Bede the Venerable · c. A.D. 672–735
John 11:11 · Douay-Rheims
“These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.”
On this verse:
“The disciples, checked by our Lord’s answer to them, dared no longer oppose; and Thomas, more forward than the rest, says, Let us also go that we may die with him. What an appearance of firmness! He speaks as if he could really do what he said; unmindful, like Peter, of his frailty.”
