John 11:14
"Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep."
Key Reflection
In this passage, Jesus foretells his impending death, yet his disciples misunderstand it as mere physical rest. This misunderstanding highlights the depth of their spiritual blindness and foreshadows the revelation that would come through his resurrection, teaching them the true significance of his sacrifice.
