Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on John 11:14
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
John 11:14 · Douay-Rheims
“Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.”
On this verse:
“Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead--Says BENGEL beautifully, "Sleep is the death of the saints, in the language of heaven; but this language the disciples here understood not; incomparable is the generosity of the divine manner of discoursing, but such is the slowness of men's apprehension that Scripture often has to descend to the more miserable style of human discourse; compare Mat 16:11."”
