The Pulpit Commentary - John 11:1-16

The raising of Lazarus. This event, a third good work, hastened the final crisis. I. THE BETHANY FAMILY . "Now a certain man was sick , Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha." 1. Their home . It was a small village on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives, two miles from Jerusalem. It is familiar to us in the earlier Gospels as the place to which our Lord resorted from time to time for happy retirement. It remains the sweetest spot in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 11:1-57

7. Christ the Antagonist of death—a victory of love and power . The narrative of this chapter is a further advance in the proof that the unbelief of the Jews was aggravated by the greatness of the revelation. The issue of his sublime and culminating act of power, of his supreme and self-revealing work of transcendent tenderness and beauty, was a deeper and wilder passion of hatred. The evangelist completes his series of seven great miracles with one that in true and believing minds,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 11:11

These things spake he, and probably many more words expository of the vast principle of service which he here propounded; and after this (for μετὰ τοῦτο implies a break, during which the disciples pondered his words) he saith, Our friend Lazarus ; implying that Lazarus was well known to the disciples, and that the Lord classes himself here, in wondrous condescension, with them . He elsewhere speaks of the twelve as his "friends" ( John 15:14 , John 15:15 , where he made it a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 11:11

Sleeping and waking. Our Lord Jesus, in this metaphorical language, doubtless adopted a view of death which was familiar to his countrymen, because presented in the works of their inspired and their uninspired writers—of seers and of sages. Yet, in adopting it, he imparted to it a tone and character peculiar to himself. On the other hand, what he says concerning the awakening is altogether original; herein he claims a power which is unprecedented and unparalleled. I. To THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 11:11

Three views of three vital subjects. We have here— I. A VIEW OF CHRISTIAN FRIENDSHIP . 1. It has Christ as its Center and Inspiration . 2. It is common and mutual . "Our friend." Not "my" nor" your friend," but "our friend." The friend of Jesus and that of his disciples. The friendship is common and mutual. Friendship expects and deserves the same in return. It manifests itself specially to Christ and his followers, and generally to mankind for Christ's sake. Many... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 11:11

Death and sleep. Here we have another instance of what is so frequent in John's Gospel, Jesus using common words in special and unexpected meanings. The disciples did not understand Jesus—how were they likely to do so? Their rejoinder was a very natural one. Why, then, should Jesus speak of the reality of death under the form of sleep? I. ALL DEATH WOULD BE PECULIARLY REPUGNANT TO JESUS . JESUS , we may take it, had in him a fullness and healthiness of natural life... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 11:12

The disciples £ therefore say unto him, Lord, if he have fallen asleep, he will recover . Wunsche quotes 'Berach,' fol. 57, b, "Sleep is a good sign for the sick." The language of the disciples is somewhat remarkable; at least their misunderstanding is puzzling (Reuss and Strauss think it is a sign of the unhistorical); but it probably arose out of the statement, made two days before, that "the sickness was not unto death," and from their eager and affectionate desire to prevent their... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 11:11

Lazarus sleepeth - Is dead. The word “sleep” is applied to death,Because of the resemblance between them, as sleep is the “kinsman of death.” In this sense it is often used by pagan writers. However, in the Scriptures it is used to intimate that death will not be final: that there will be an awaking out of this sleep, or a resurrection. It is a beautiful and tender expression, removing all that is dreadful in death, and filling the mind with the idea of calm repose after a life of toil, with a... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 11:12

If the sleep, he shall do well - Sleep was regarded by the Jews, in sickness, as a favorable symptom; hence it was said among them, “Sleep in sickness is a sign of recovery, because it shows that the violence of the disease has abated” (Lightfoot). This seems to have been the meaning of the disciples. They intimated that if he had this symptom, there was no need of his going into Judea to restore him. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 11:11-13

John 11:11-13. These things said he To silence their objections, and prepare their minds for what he yet concealed; and after that, as he perfectly knew what had passed at Bethany, though so many miles distant from it, he saith, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth This, it is probable, he spoke just when he died. Sleepeth Thus our Lord speaks, partly out of tenderness to his apostles, as being least shocking when he spoke of so dear a friend; and partly because the death of good men is only ... read more
