Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 12:1-11

118. Jesus returns to Bethany (John 12:1-11)Before going on to Jerusalem, Jesus returned to Bethany, where Mary, Martha and Lazarus lived. Mary, believing this was probably the last time Jesus would be with them, showed her devotion by washing his feet with expensive perfume (John 12:1-4). Judas objected that the use of expensive perfume in this way was a waste of money. In answer Jesus told his disciples that he would be with them only a little longer, then would be crucified. He saw Mary’s... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 12:1

Jesus' public ministry was concluded between the events of the last chapter and the Passover which comes into view in this. A number of important things in the life of Christ took place between John 11:54 and John 11:55. According to Robertson, these were:He started the last journey to Jerusalem, via Samaria and Galilee. healing ten lepers en route (Luke 17:11-37). He gave two parables on prayers, those of the importunate widow and the Pharisee and the publican (Luke 18:1-14). He gave his... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 12:1

John 12:1. Then Jesus—came to Bethany,— This was in his way to Jerusalem; and he might choose to stop here, in order to renew the idea of the resurrection upon the minds of his disciples, by carrying them once more to the house of one who had been raised from the dead by him; and this was the more necessary, as the time was very near, when he should put their faith to the proof with respect tothis article, by his own death. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 12:1

The day when Jesus arrived in Bethany was evidently Saturday. [Note: Ibid., p. 91.] As noted before, John frequently grouped the events he recorded around the Jewish feasts and related them to those feasts. At this Passover the Lamb of God would die as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. John’s reference to Lazarus helps the reader identify which of the two Bethanys that John mentioned is in view here. It also shows that Lazarus was still alive, another testimony to the reality of the... read more
