John 11:36 - Forerunner Commentary

John 11:36

34 And He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”

35 ^aJesus wept.

36 Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

37 And some of them said, “Could not this Man, ^awho opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?”

Lazarus Raised from the Dead

38 Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a ^astone lay against it.

39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would ^asee the glory of God?”

41 Then they took away the stone¹ from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

42 And I know that You always hear Me, but ^abecause of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.”

43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”

44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with ^agraveclothes, and ^bhis face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”

The Plot to Kill Jesus

45 Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, ^aand had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.

46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and ^atold them the things Jesus did.

47 ^aThen the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, ^b“What shall we do? For this Man works many signs.

48 If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.”
