'Rest' in the Bible

These things said he: and after that he said to them, Lazarus our friend is at rest; but I go so that I may make him come out of his sleep.

Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep.

Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.
