21 Then G3767 said G2036 Martha G3136 unto G4314 Jesus, G2424 Lord, G2962 if G1487 thou hadst been G2258 here, G5602 my G3450 brother G80 G302 had G2348 not G3756 died. G2348
Then G1161 Jesus G2424 went G4198 with G4862 them. G846 And G1161 when he G846 was G568 now G2235 not G3756 far G3112 from G575 the house, G3614 the centurion G1543 sent G3992 friends G5384 to G4314 him, G846 saying G3004 unto him, G846 Lord, G2962 trouble G4660 not G3361 thyself: G4660 for G1063 I am G1510 not G3756 worthy G2425 that G2443 thou shouldest enter G1525 under G5259 my G3450 roof: G4721 Wherefore G1352 neither G3761 thought I G515 myself G1683 worthy G515 to come G2064 unto G4314 thee: G4571 but G235 say G2036 in a word, G3056 and G2532 my G3450 servant G3816 shall be healed. G2390 For G1063 I G1473 also G2532 am G1510 a man G444 set G5021 under G5259 authority, G1849 having G2192 under G5259 me G1683 soldiers, G4757 and G2532 I say G3004 unto one, G5129 Go, G4198 and G2532 he goeth; G4198 and G2532 to another, G243 Come, G2064 and G2532 he cometh; G2064 and G2532 to my G3450 servant, G1401 Do G4160 this, G5124 and G2532 he doeth G4160 it. When G1161 Jesus G2424 heard G191 these things, G5023 he marvelled G2296 at him, G846 and G2532 turned him about, G4762 and said G2036 unto the people G3793 that followed G190 him, G846 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 I have not found G2147 so great G5118 faith, G4102 no, not G3761 in G1722 Israel. G2474 And G2532 they that were sent, G3992 returning G5290 to G1519 the house, G3624 found G2147 the servant G1401 whole G5198 that had been sick. G770
And G2532 when the Lord G2962 saw G1492 her, G846 he had compassion G4697 on G1909 her, G846 and G2532 said G2036 unto her, G846 Weep G2799 not. G3361 And G2532 he came G4334 and touched G680 the bier: G4673 and G1161 they that bare G941 him stood still. G2476 And G2532 he said, G2036 Young man, G3495 I say G3004 unto thee, G4671 Arise. G1453 And G2532 he that was dead G3498 sat up, G339 and G2532 began G756 to speak. G2980 And G2532 he delivered G1325 him G846 to his G846 mother. G3384
While he G846 yet G2089 spake, G2980 there cometh G2064 one G5100 from G3844 the ruler of the synagogue's G752 house, saying G3004 to him, G846 G3754 Thy G4675 daughter G2364 is dead; G2348 trouble G4660 not G3361 the Master. G1320 But G1161 when Jesus G2424 heard G191 it, he answered G611 him, G846 saying, G3004 Fear G5399 not: G3361 believe G4100 only, G3440 and G2532 she shall be made whole. G4982 And G1161 when he came G1525 into G1519 the house, G3614 he suffered G863 no G3756 man G3762 to go in, G1525 save G1508 Peter, G4074 and G2532 James, G2385 and G2532 John, G2491 and G2532 the father G3962 and G2532 the mother G3384 of the maiden. G3816 And G1161 all G3956 wept, G2799 and G2532 bewailed G2875 her: G846 but G1161 he said, G2036 Weep G2799 not; G3361 she is G599 not G3756 dead, G599 but G235 sleepeth. G2518 And G2532 they laughed G2606 him G846 to scorn, G2606 knowing G1492 that G3754 she was dead. G599 And G1161 he G846 put G1544 them all G3956 out, G1854 and G2532 took G2902 her G846 by the hand, G5495 and called, G5455 saying, G3004 Maid, G3816 arise. G1453 And G2532 her G846 spirit G4151 came again, G1994 and G2532 she arose G450 straightway: G3916 and G2532 he commanded G1299 to give G1325 her G846 meat. G5315
When he G3778 heard G191 that G3754 Jesus G2424 was come G2240 out of G1537 Judaea G2449 into G1519 Galilee, G1056 he went G565 unto G4314 him, G846 and G2532 besought G2065 him G846 that G2443 he would come down, G2597 and G2532 heal G2390 his G846 son: G5207 for G1063 he was at the point G3195 of death. G599 Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto G4314 him, G846 Except G3362 ye see G1492 signs G4592 and G2532 wonders, G5059 ye will G4100 not G3364 believe. G4100 The nobleman G937 saith G3004 unto G4314 him, G846 Sir, G2962 come down G2597 ere G4250 my G3450 child G3813 die. G599

Commentary on John 11 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 11
In this chapter we have the history of that illustrious miracle which Christ wrought a little before his death-the raising of Lazarus to life, which is recorded only by this evangelist; for the other three confine themselves to what Christ did in Galilee, where he resided most, and scarcely ever carried their history into Jerusalem till the passion-week: whereas John's memoirs relate chiefly to what passed at Jerusalem; this passage therefore was reserved for his pen. Some suggest that, when the other evangelists wrote, Lazarus was alive, and it would not well agree either with his safety or with his humility to have it recorded till now, when it is supposed he was dead. It is more largely recorded than any other of Christ's miracles, not only because there are many circumstances of it so very instructive and the miracle of itself so great a proof of Christ's mission, but because it was an earnest of that which was to be the crowning proof of all-Christ's own resurrection. Here is,
Jhn 11:1-16
We have in these verses,
Jhn 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 fifteen furlongs from Jerusalem, about two measured miles, v. 18. Notice is taken of this, that this miracle was in effect wrought in Jerusalem, and so was put to her score. Christ's miracles in Galilee were more numerous, but those in or near Jerusalem were more illustrious; there he healed one that had been diseased thirty-eight years, another that had been blind from his birth, and raised one that had been dead four days. To Bethany Christ came, and observe,
Jhn 11:33-44
Here we have,
Jhn 11:45-57
We have here an account of the consequences of this glorious miracle, which were as usual; to some it was a savour of life unto life, to others of death unto death.
