# Joh 11:21
\\If thou hadst been here.\\ Martha's faith made her believe
that Jesus would have healed Lazarus, but even she did not
expect him to call back from the grave one already buried.
(PNT 373)
03402
# Joh 11:23
\\Thy brother shall rise again.\\ She takes this as an
allusion to the final resurrection.
(PNT 373)
03404
# Joh 11:25
\\I am the resurrection, and the life.\\ Christ makes the
grand, striking declaration that he is the RESURRECTION AND THE
LIFE, words that never could have fallen from the lips of a sane
mortal. They mean that he is the power which opens every grave,
gives life to the sleepers, and calls them forth to a new
existence; that the life that endows men with eternal being is
in him and proceeds from him. In the light of his own
resurrection they mean that when he burst open the tomb, he did
it for humanity and in him humanity has won the victory over
death.
(PNT 373)
03405
# Joh 11:26
\\Whoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.\\ Those
dead, who believed in him, shall be raised and live, and those
living who believe, shall never perish. Death will only be a
change to a better existence.
(PNT 373-374)
03406
# Joh 11:27
\\I believe that thou art the Christ\\, etc. He asks about
her faith. She responds by the good confession that embraces
all, Martha's creed, Peter's creed, the true "Apostles' creed,"
the only creed of the Apostolic church.
(PNT 374)
03407
# Joh 11:28-30
\\Called Mary her sister secretly.\\ The Lord had evidently
directed her to do this, for she said, "The Master calleth for
thee." At once, with a promptitude that shows her joy, Mary
arose and hastened out of the town to the place where the Lord
still tarried.
(PNT 374)
03410
# Joh 11:31
\\She goeth to the grave to weep there.\\ The message to Mary
was secret. When she suddenly arose and left hurriedly, the only
explanation that suggested itself to the Jews was that she had
gone to weep at the tomb, a custom of Jewish women.
(PNT 374)
03412
# Joh 11:33-34
\\He groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.\\ The word
\\[embrimaomai]\\ rendered "groaned" undoubtedly means "was
moved with indignation" (ASV, margin). Jesus was deeply moved
by the grief of Mary, but the hypocritical weeping of the Jews
who followed her, and who were acting according to the rules,
filled him with indignation.
(PNT 374)
03414
# Joh 11:35
\\Jesus wept.\\ The shortest verse in the Bible and one of
the most touching.
For the only other occasion when Jesus wept, see
# Lu 19:41
(PNT 374)
03415
# Joh 11:36-37
\\Behold how he loved him!\\ Some of the Jews were touched by
the evidence of tender affection. Others, remembering the
healing of the blind man right there at Jerusalem, asked if he
could not have saved Lazarus from death.
(PNT 374)
03417
# Joh 11:38
\\Jesus . . . cometh to the grave.\\ Graves in Palestine were
caves in the rock, either natural or cut, and the mouth was
closed by a great stone. Such graves are still seen there. For
references to graves, see
# Ge 23:9 35:8 1Ki 2:34 Isa 14:15 22:16 Mt 27:60 Joh 19:41
(PNT 374-375)
03418
# Joh 11:39-40
\\Take ye away the stone.\\ The large stone that closed the
entrance, and which several persons would be required to remove.
The practical Martha suggests that decomposition has begun, not
understanding his purpose.
(PNT 375)
03420
# Joh 11:41
\\And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes.\\ The Son always sought to
honour the Father and to show that the Father was in him as he
was in the Father.
\\I thank thee that thou hast heard me.\\ Constantly in
communion with the Father, he had the Father's answer already
and assent to what he was about to do.
(PNT 375)
03421
# Joh 11:42
\\Thou hearest me always.\\ Even in Gethsemane, when the cup
was not taken away.
(PNT 375)
03422
# Joh 11:43
\\He cried with a loud voice.\\ A suggestion of the "voice
like the sound of many waters," at which all who are in their
graves shall come forth.
# Re 1:15 1Th 4:16
It was the voice of authority.
(PNT 375)
03423
# Joh 11:44
\\And he that was dead came forth.\\ The earth had never
beheld a more wonderful or startling sight. At once the sleeper
arose, came forth, bound with his grave clothes, with the napkin
still upon his face that had been bound under his jaw to keep it
from falling. The lookers-on, astonished, dazed, were only
recalled to themselves when the Lord bade them, "Loose him and
let him go." He spoke as the Divine Word, and death obeyed. As
he cried to Lazarus, "Come forth," so shall he speak with the
voice of an archangel to all that are in their graves, and they
shall come forth and live.
(PNT 375)
03424
# Joh 11:45-46
\\Many of the Jews . . . believed on him.\\ They could not
doubt after such a display of Divine power. There were, as
usual, two classes. The others went and reported to the
Pharisees.
(PNT 375)
03426
# Joh 11:47
\\The chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council.\\
The Sanhedrin met at once. The crisis was an alarming one.
Unless something was done the nation would follow Jesus.
(PNT 375)
03427
# Joh 11:48
\\The Romans shall come.\\ Their idea was that if the nation
followed Jesus there would be rebellion against the Roman
authority, and the Romans would, as a result, destroy Jerusalem,
the temple, and their ecclesiastical authority. This was done a
generation later by the Romans, but what led to it was the
rejection of Christ, not his reception.
(PNT 376)
03428
# Joh 11:49
\\Caiaphas, being high priest that same year.\\ The year the
Saviour died. He was a Sadducee, crafty, cruel, sensual, had been
high priest for fifteen years, and was deposed three years
later.
\\Ye know nothing at all.\\ Don't understand what the crisis
requires.
(PNT 376)
03429
# Joh 11:50
\\That one man should die.\\ His proposition is to slay one
man, Jesus, rather than have the Romans come and destroy the
whole nation for making Jesus King.
(PNT 376)
03430
# Joh 11:51
\\This he spoke not of himself.\\ He thought he spoke of
himself, but without his knowledge, God used the lips of the
high priest for a prophecy.
(PNT 376)
03431
# Joh 11:52
\\Not for that nation only.\\ It "did behove Jesus to die,"
in order to save, not that nation only, but that "he should
gather together in one the children of God."
(PNT 376)
03432
# Joh 11:53
\\From that day.\\ From that day his death was the official
decree of the Sanhedrin.
(PNT 376)
03433
# Joh 11:54
\\Jesus therefore walked no more openly.\\ He avoided them
until his "hour was come," and retired to Ephraim, a city
sixteen miles northeast of Jerusalem on the borders of the
wilderness.
(PNT 376)
03434
# Joh 11:55
\\The Jews' passover was near.\\ It was only a few weeks
before the passover that he went to Ephraim.
\\To purify themselves.\\ From ceremonial uncleanness. See
# Ex 19:10,11
(PNT 376)
03435
# Joh 11:56
\\They sought for Jesus.\\ He was in the thoughts of all men
now.
(PNT 376)
03436
# Joh 11:57
\\The chief priests and the Pharisees.\\ The Sanhedrin had
commanded that any man who could direct them to Jesus should
bring word. The hostility that began three years before, on the
Lord's first visit after his ministry began, had now fully
ripened, and the "hour was at hand."
(PNT 376)
03437
