John 11:28-37 NKJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 11:17-32

The matter being determined, that Christ will go to Judea, and his disciples with him, they address themselves to their journey; in this journey some circumstances happened which the other evangelists record, as the healing of the blind man at Jericho, and the conversion of Zaccheus. We must not reckon ourselves out of our way, while we are in the way of doing good; nor be so intent upon one good office as to neglect another. At length, he comes near to Bethany, which is said to be about... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 11:33-44

Here we have, I. Christ's tender sympathy with his afflicted friends, and the share he took to himself in their sorrows, which appeared three ways:? 1. By the inward groans and troubles of his spirit (John 11:33): Jesus saw Mary weeping for the loss of a loving brother, and the Jews that came with her weeping for the loss of a good neighbour and friend; when he saw what a place of weepers, a bochim, this was, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled. See here, (1.) The griefs of the sons of... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 11:1-44

We have tried to expound the raising of Lazarus simply as the story stands written. But we can not evade the fact that of all the miracles of Jesus this presents the greatest problem. Let us honestly face the difficulties. (i) In the other three gospels there are accounts of people being raised from the dead. There is the story of the raising of Jairus' daughter ( Matthew 9:18-26 ; Mark 5:21-43 ; Luke 8:40-56 ). There is the story of the raising of the widow's son at Nain ( Luke... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 11:28-33

11:28-33 When Martha had said this, she went away and called Mary her sister. Without letting the rest of the people know, she said to her: "The Teacher has arrived and is calling for you." When she heard this, she rose quickly and began to go to him. Jesus had not yet come into the village, but he was still in the place where Martha met him. So when the Jews, who were in the house with Mary, and who were condoling with her, saw her rise quickly and go out, they followed her, for they thought... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 11:34-44

11:34-44 Jesus said to them: "Where have you laid him?" "Lord," they said to him: "Come and see." Jesus wept. So the Jews said: "Look how he loved him!" Some of them said: "Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind have so acted that Lazarus would not have died?" Again a groan was wrung from Jesus' inner being. He went to the tomb. It was a cave; and a stone had been laid upon it. Jesus said: "Take away the stone." Martha, the dead man's sister, said to him: "Lord, by this time the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:28

And when she had so said ,.... Had expressed her faith in Christ in such terms, as the apostles themselves did, Matthew 16:16 John 1:49 . She went her way ; from Christ, being ordered by him to go to her sister Mary, and fetch her to him: and called Mary her sister secretly ; either beckoned her to come to her, or whispered her in the ear privately, as Nonnus paraphrases it, that the Jews, who were enemies to Christ, might not hear: saying, the master is come ; near the town;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:29

As soon as she heard that ,.... That Christ was come, and inquired for her, and wanted to see her: she arose quickly, and came unto him ; having an equal affection for him as her sister Martha; and which she showed, by leaving her comforters at once, and by making the haste she did, to another and better comforter: both Martha and Mary, out of their great love to Christ, break through the rule for mourners mentioned in note, See Gill on John 11:19 , of not going out of the door of the... read more

Now Jesus was not yet come into the town ,.... Of Bethany, but stayed without, being nearer to Lazarus's grave, which he intended to go to, in order to raise him to life, it being usual to bury the without the towns and cities; See Gill on Matthew 8:28 , See Gill on Luke 7:12 . but was in that place where Martha met him ; here he stopped, and here he continued: the Persic version reads, "but was sitting in the same place", &c.; waiting for the coming of Mary along with Martha;... read more

The Jews then which were with her in the house ,.... Who came from Jerusalem to visit this afflicted family, and continued in the house with them and comforted her ; which was the end of their coming, John 11:19 . This they endeavoured to do, though they did not succeed: when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, followed her ; they did not know what Martha whispered to her, but observed that she rose off her seat in great haste, and went out of the house at once;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:32

Then when Mary was come where Jesus was ,.... Where Martha met him, and where she left him. Travellers tell us, that close by a well, about a stone's cast out of the town of Bethany, is showed the place where Martha met our Lord when he came to raise Lazarus, and where Mary, being called also, met him; but this is not to be depended on, nor is it of any moment to know it. It is blessed meeting Christ any where; and where he is preached, and his ordinances administered, let it be in what... read more
