Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - John 11:45-57

C. Two-fold result of the raising of Lazarus. The believing Jews. The obdurate ones as betrayers. The high-priestly prophecy, or the extinction of the ancient Urim and Thummim. Demoniacal policy and Divine counsel. Jesus now in the wilderness of Ephraim, as He was in the wilderness at the beginning of His ministry(John 11:45-57.)45Then many [Many therefore] of the Jews which came [who had come]65 to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus [what he] did, believed on [in] him. 46But some of... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - John 11:25-26

John - Job CHRIST’S QUESTION TO EACH JOB’S QUESTION, JESUS’ ANSWER Job_14:14 . - Joh_11:25 - Joh_11:26 . Job’s question waited long for an answer. Weary centuries rolled away; but at last the doubting, almost despairing, cry put into the mouth of the man of sorrows of the Old Testament is answered by the Man of Sorrows of the New. The answer in words is this second text which may almost be supposed to allude to the ancient question. The answer, in fact, is the resurrection of Christ. Apart... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - John 11:27

John CHRIST’S QUESTION TO EACH For the Young Joh_11:26 - Joh_11:27 . As each of these annual sermons which I have preached for so long comes round, I feel more solemnly the growing probability that it may be the last. Like a man nearing the end of his day’s work, I want to make the most of the remaining moments. Whether this is the last sermon of the sort that I shall preach or not, it is certainly the last of the kind that some of you will hear from me, or possibly from any one. So, dear... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - John 11:30-42

John THE OPEN GRAVE AT BETHANY Joh_11:30 - Joh_11:45 . Why did Jesus stay outside Bethany and summon Martha and Mary to come to Him? Apparently that He might keep Himself apart from the noisy crowd of conventional mourners whose presence affronted the majesty and sanctity of sorrow, and that He might speak to the hearts of the two real mourners. A divine decorum forbade Him to go to the house. The Life-bringer keeps apart. His comforts are spoken in solitude. He reverenced grief. How... read more

John THE OPEN GRAVE AT BETHANY THE SEVENTH MIRACLE IN JOHN’S GOSPEL THE RAISING OF LAZARUS Joh_11:43 - Joh_11:44 . The series of our Lord’s miracles before the Passion, as recorded in this Gospel, is fitly closed with the raising of Lazarus. It crowns the whole, whether we regard the greatness of the fact, the manner of our Lord’s working, the minuteness and richness of the accompanying details, the revelation of our Lord’s heart, the consolations which it suggests to sorrowing spirits, or... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 11:17-27

Jesus the Resurrection and the Life John 11:17-27 His step may linger, but Jesus comes at length. While He seems to tarry, He knows each sigh, pang, and tear that escapes from the sufferer and His friends; and when He arrives He does more than we asked or thought. He raises not the sick, but the dead. He makes the darkness of the tomb the background to set forth the resurrection glory. He turns tears into jewels, as the sun does with dewdrops. In after days the three would not have wished it... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 11:28-35

the Sympathy of Jesus John 11:28-35 It is not to be wondered at that the sisters and their friends wept as they stood beside the grave; but why did Jesus weep? He knew what He had come to do. He had come for the express purpose of turning their tears into joy. He wept for human frailty-that man’s life is an handbreadth and his years as a tale that is told. He wept in sympathy with human sorrow, because He realized that the scene in which He was taking part was a sample of myriads more. He... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 11:36-44

Victory over Death John 11:36-44 1. The Lord had been praying about this matter before He came to the grave: “ Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. ”Notice that past tense. Perhaps He had done so when He first received the news of Lazarus’ sickness. He had prayed and had received the assurance that His prayer was answered. When He started back across the Jordan, it was with the full assurance that Lazarus would be raised to life. 2. He was conscious, also, of a life of unceasing... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 11:45-57

the Innocent for the Guilty John 11:45-57 The friends of the family who had come to lament with them, were disposed toward Jesus and believed; but the mere spectators hastened with the news, to inflame the hatred of the Pharisees. The Romans dreaded the power acquired by permanent office, and often exchanged one high priest for another. Hence the expression, being high priest that year. By his vote Caiaphas may be said to have appointed and sacrificed his victim, who in that memorable year... read more
