约翰福音 12:10 CUNPSS

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 12:9-11

People come for the sake of Lazarus: v. 9. Much people of the Jews therefore knew that He was there; and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom He had raised from the dead. v. 10. But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death, v. 11. because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away and believed on Jesus. In the course of the same evening, while Jesus was still in Bethany, many Jews came out from Jerusalem. The... read more

IVAntithesis Between The Homage Of Pious Jews And Festal Pilgrims, And The High-Priests With Their Adherents, Who Desire To Destroy The Lord’s Friends As Well As Himself.

John LOVE’S PRODIGALITY CENSURED AND VINDICATED Joh_12:1 - Joh_12:11 . Jesus came from Jericho, where He had left Zacchaeus rejoicing in the salvation that had come to his house, and whence Bartimaeus, rejoicing in His new power of vision, seems to have followed Him. A few hours brought Him to Bethany, and we know from other Evangelists what a tension of purpose marked Him, and awed the disciples, as He pressed on before them up the rocky way. His mind was full of the struggle and death... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 12:1-11

Love’s Fragrant Gift John 12:1-11 Martha’s service reminds us of Luke 10:41 . The earlier Gospels (Matthew 26:1-75 ; Mark 14:1-72 ) do not mention Mary’s name, probably because the whole family might have suffered for their intimate identification with Jesus; see John 12:10 . But when this Gospel was written the beloved trio had been gathered home to God. There was no value in the spikenard except to refresh and comfort, but this was sufficient to warrant Mary’s act. We must not always be... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 12:1-50

The shadows of the Passion were now falling across the path of the Christ. In what happened at the supper we have a vivid contrast. Mary and Judas arrest our attention. She, discovering the sorrows of His heart, pressed closely to Him, and sacramentally expressed her love. Judas, blinded in self-interest, criticized her action, and so revealed himself as utterly opposed to the very spirit of the Lord Himself. From Bethany Jesus passed to Jerusalem, where a stupendous outburst of welcome... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 12:1-11

Mary Anointing Her Lord John 12:1-11 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We are now coming to the close of the life of our Master presenting the third of three Bible scenes centering around Martha, Mary, and Lazarus. It is the story of Mary breaking the alabaster box upon the feet of her Lord. The first verse says, "Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom He raised from the dead." We wish, by way of introduction, to briefly state the events of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:9-11

Many Show Interest in Jesus and Lazarus (John 12:9-11 ). ‘When the great crowd of the Judaisers learned that he was there, they came, not only because of Jesus, but also in order to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead. So the chief priests planned to put Lazarus also to death because, on account of him, many of the Jews were leaving and believing in Jesus’. Once again John speaks of ‘the Judaisers’. Here now He is back in Judea and Jerusalem. Earlier ‘the Judaisers’ had represented... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:9-19

John 12:9-Psalms : . The Triumphal Entry.— If the story of Lazarus is historical it is quite probable that people in Jerusalem should come out to Bethany, to satisfy themselves as to what would happen at the Feast, and that the ruling classes determined to deal with Lazarus as well as with Jesus. The Synoptic and Johannine accounts of the entry differ in details, but the account in our gospel is not in itself improbable. The Feast pilgrims, Galileans and possibly Judæ ans, but not... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 12:10

Never was there a more unreasonable madness and rage, to justify the apostle’s calling of the enemies of the gospel unreasonable men, 2 Thessalonians 3:2. Suppose that Christ had broken the sabbath, or had spoken blasphemy, yet what had Lazarus done? read more

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 12:9. Much people, etc.—Not our Lord’s enemies, but members of the pilgrim bands and friendly neighbours from the city.John 12:10-11. But the chief priests, etc.—They saw that now it would not be sufficient to put Jesus only to death. Witnesses to His power would remain, and thus Lazarus was marked out as a victim; for many beholding this visible proof of Christ’s divine power could no longer withhold their allegiance.John 12:12.
