Thematic Bible: A symbol of death


Thematic Bible



He went in and said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.”

so man lies down never to rise again.
They will not wake up until the heavens are no more;
they will not stir from their sleep.


“Leave,” He said, “because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” And they started laughing at Him.

Everyone was crying and mourning for her. But He said, “Stop crying, for she is not dead but asleep.”

He said this, and then He told them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I'm on My way to wake him up." Then the disciples said to Him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well."
