rwp - John:11:11-13

rwp@John:11:11 @{Is fallen asleep} (\kekoimtai\). Perfect passive indicative of \koima\, old verb to put to sleep. Common as a metaphor for death like our cemetery. {I go} (\poreuomai\). Futuristic use of the present tense as in strkjv@14:2|. {That I may awake him out of sleep} (\hina exupnis auton\). Purpose clause with \hina\ and the first aorist active subjunctive of \exupniz\, a late compound (\ex, hupnos\, sleep) for the older \aphupniz\, here only in the N.T. See strkjv@Job:14:12| where also it occurs along with \koimaomai\.

rwp@John:11:12 @{He will recover} (\sthsetai\). Future passive indicative of \sz\ used in its original sense of being or getting well (safe and sound). Conclusion of the condition of the first class (\ei kekoimtai\).

rwp@John:11:13 @{Had spoken} (\eirkei\). Past perfect of \eipon\ (\er\). The disciples had misunderstood Christ's metaphor for death. {That he spake} (\hoti legei\). Present active indicative retained in indirect discourse after the secondary tense (\edoxan\). {Of taking rest in sleep} (\peri ts koimses tou hupou\). Only use of \koimsis\ (from \koima\) in the N.T., but it also was used of death (Sirach strkjv@46:19). \Hupnou\ (in sleep) is objective genitive of \hupnos\ (sleep, strkjv@Matthew:1:24|).
