Bare witness (emarturei). Imperfect active of marturew. This crowning triumph of Jesus gave an added sense of importance to the crowds that were actually with Jesus when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead. For this description of this portion of the crowd see John 11:45 f.; John 12:1, John 12:9-11.
