John 11:4

Jesus meant that Lazarus would not die in the final sense, though this sickness did prove fatal. His immediate death would result in resurrection and the revelation of Jesus as God’s Son (cf. John 9:3). In this Gospel, God’s "glory" is usually a reference to His self-revelation rather than the praise that comes to Him (cf. John 1:14-18; John 5:23; John 12:28; John 17:4). [Note: Carson, The Gospel . . ., p. 406.] Ironically this miracle displayed Jesus’ identity as God’s Son, but it also led to His death that was the ultimate manifestation of His identity and glory.
