Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 12:1-50

Chapter 12Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he had raised from the dead. They made him a supper; and Martha served [typical of Martha]: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 12:1-50

John 12:1 . Six days before the passover. The Hebrew sabbath was kept from sunset to sunset. The worship of the day being closed, the jews indulged in a good supper after the light food of the day.

John 12:28-30Father, glorify Thy nameThe glorified name1.One important aspect of Christian life is the imitation of Christ. But this is not necessarily doing the same things that Christ did, but involves the discovery of the principles by which His life was ruled, and the imitation of ways of expressing character after we have gained Christ’s principles. 2. A man’s ruling principle can best be discovered in his prayers, particularly in those which are forced on by sudden calamity or pressure.... read more

28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying , I have both glorified it , and will glorify it again. Ver. 28. Then came there a voice from heaven ] God sometimes gives a sensible answer to the prayers of his people, as they are praying, or immediately after, as Daniel 9:21 ; Acts 4:31 .
