Wesley's Notes for John 11:12

11:10 But if a man walk in the night - If he have not light from God; if his providence does no longer protect him.

11:11 Our friend Lazarus sleepeth - This he spoke, just when he died. Sleepeth - Such is the death of good men in the language of heaven. But the disciples did not yet understand this language. And the slowness of our understanding makes the Scripture often descend to our barbarous manner of speaking.
