'Sleep' in the Bible
When Joseph awoke from sleep he did what the angel of the Lord told him. He took his wife,
He goes to sleep and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
(Now Jesus had been talking about his death, but they thought he had been talking about real sleep.)
A young man named Eutychus, who was sitting in the window, was sinking into a deep sleep while Paul continued to speak for a long time. Fast asleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
And do this because we know the time, that it is already the hour for us to awake from sleep, for our salvation is now nearer than when we became believers.
Listen, I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed --
So then we must not sleep as the rest, but must stay alert and sober.
For those who sleep, sleep at night and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
