2. The responses to the raising of Lazarus 11:45-57Again Jesus’ words and works divided the Jews (cf. John 6:14-15; John 7:10-13; John 7:45-52; John 10:19-21). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 11:47-48

John’s "Therefore" or "Then" ties this paragraph directly to what precedes in a cause and effect relationship. The chief priests, who were mostly Sadducees, and the Pharisees, who were mostly scribes, assembled for an official meeting. The chief priests dominated the Sanhedrin, but the Pharisees were a powerful minority. The third and smallest group in the Sanhedrin was the elders, who were landed aristocrats who had mixed theological views.The Sanhedrin members felt that they had to take some... read more

The official response 11:47-53The raising of Lazarus convinced Israel’s leaders that they had to take more drastic action against Jesus. John recorded this decision as the high point of Israel’s official rejection of God’s Son so far. This decision led directly to Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 11:49

Caiaphas’ remarks reflect the frenzy that characterized this meeting. He addressed his colleagues rather unflatteringly as ignoramuses. Caiaphas had received his office of high priest from the Romans in A.D. 18. His father-in-law Annas had preceded him in the office, and Annas continued to exercise considerable influence. However it was Caiaphas who had the official power at this time.John’s reference to "that year" (John 11:49) was probably with the year of Jesus’ death in mind (cf. John... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 11:50

Caiaphas solution to the problem that Jesus posed was to get rid of Him-permanently. He seems to have felt impatient with His fellow rulers for hesitating to take this brutal step. He viewed Jesus’ death as a sacrifice that was necessary for the welfare of the nation, by which he meant its leaders. Jesus’ sacrificial death was precisely God’s intention though for a different reason. Caiaphas viewed Jesus as a scapegoat whose sacrifice would guarantee the life of Israel’s leaders. God viewed... read more

John interpreted Caiaphas’ words for his readers. He viewed Caiaphas’ statement as a prophecy. He spoke God’s will as the high priest even though he did not realize he was doing so. Caiaphas’ motive was, of course, completely contrary to God’s will, but God overruled to accomplish His will through the high priest’s selfish advice.Caiaphas unconsciously prophesied that Jesus would die as a substitute for the Israelite nation (cf. Isaiah 53:8). The outcome of His death would be the uniting of... read more

Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament - John 11:38

11:38 moved (a-5) Or 'groaned.' Elsewhere only in Matthew 9:30 ; Mark 1:43 ; Mark 14:5 , translated, 'sharply charged,' 'spoke very angrily.' Here it was inward feeling (in spirit) produced by the deep pain caused by seeing the power of death over the human spirit. There was so far indignation that there was deep antagonism to the power of evil and Satan in death. It may be 'groaned' is the best word. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 11:1-57

Christ the Resurrection and the Life1-44. The raising of Lazarus. The last and greatest of the seven ’signs’ recorded in this Gospel is related with such photographic minuteness of detail, that it is clear that the evangelist was present. Three points about it are specially noteworthy: (1) that it was a physical miracle, which no ingenuity can reduce to a case of faith-healing; (2) that it was definitely worked to produce faith in Christ (John 11:42); (3) that more than any other miracle it was... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - John 11:38

(38) Jesus therefore again groaning in himself.—See Note on John 11:33. Their evil thoughts, expressed in John 11:37, are the cause of this new emotion of anger.Cometh to the grave.—Comp. John 11:31. Here, as there, it would be better to render it sepulchre. The same word occurs again in John 12:17; John 19:41-42; John 20:1-11.It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.—The sepulchres were dug in the rock, either vertically, with an entrance from above (comp. Note on Luke 11:44), or horizontally,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - John 11:39

(39) Martha, the sister of him that was dead.—This fact of close relationship is mentioned again to account for her remark. We know, from the whole narrative, that she was his sister; but this verse would say, not simply that Martha spoke, but that that in Martha which was sister to him who was dead spoke. She thinks that the form of him she loved has now passed to corruption; she cannot bear that her own eyes or the eyes of others should see it.For he hath been dead four days.—The word “dead”... read more
