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.
