who having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went there to desire him to come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

I declare unto you, he that heareth my doctrine, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come under condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

though Jesus meant it of Lazarus's death: but they understood it of the natural rest in sleep.

but some of them said, this man who has given sight to the blind, could not he have prevented Lazarus's death?

from that day therefore, they consulted together to put Jesus to death.

for the chief priests had resolved to put even Lazarus to death;

(this he said to signify what death he should die.)

Pilate then said to them, take him your selves, and judge him according to your law. but the Jews said to him, it is not lawful for us to put any man to death.

so that what Jesus had said, to signify the death he should die, was actually accomplished.

this he said to signify to Peter by what death he should glorify God. and when he had spoken this, he said to him, follow me.
