In the gospel of John, what unusual phrase does Jesus use to describe Lazarus when he was dead?
Answer Lazarus has fallen asleep
Jesus used this term frequently - sleeping - when describing death. For Jesus, death was a consciously unconscious state waiting to be woken up into a new state. Besides, Lazarus was about to be woken up and brought back to life.
