Matthew Poole and continuators on John 11:13

13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they th[illegible: 1 letter]ught that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep .

But that the Disciples should not understand our Saviour, not speaking of ordinary sleep, but of Death, is wonderful, considering that there is nothing more ordinary in Holy Writ, than to read of Death expressed under this Notion; but possibly by our Saviours making such haste to him, they conceived that he was not Dead, but onely in an ordinary sleep, upon the abatement of his disease.
