‏ John 11:11

 Is fallen asleep ( κεκοιμητα ). Perfect passive indicative of  κοιμαω, old verb to put to sleep. Common as a metaphor for death like our cemetery.

 I go ( πορευομα ). Futuristic use of the present tense as in 14:2.

 That I may awake him out of sleep ( ινα εξυπνισω αυτον ). Purpose clause with  ινα and the first aorist active subjunctive of  εξυπνιζω, a late compound ( εξ, υπνος, sleep) for the older  αφυπνιζω, here only in the N.T. See Job 14:12 where also it occurs along with  κοιμαομα.
