Mark 5:39

"Why all this tumult and loud weeping?" he asked.

Then Paul went down, threw himself upon him, and embracing him, said: "Do not lament; his life is still in him."

This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him."

This is why many among you are feeble and sickly, and many sleep.

But I would not have you ignorant, brothers, about those who are falling asleep. You must not sorrow like other men, who have no hope.

He died for us, in order that whether we are keeping vigil in life or sleeping in death we may ever be living together with him.
