Jesus raises Lazarus, four days buried.45. Many Jews believe. 47. The high priests and Pharisees gather a council against Jesus. 49. Caiaphas prophesies. 54. Jesus hides himself. 55. At the Passover they enquire after him, and lay wait for him. When Jesus heard this This phrase sets the stage for the divine response of Jesus to the news of Lazarus's illness. The Greek word for "heard" is "ἀκούω" (akouo), which implies not just the act of hearing but also understanding and perceiving. Jesus's hearing is not merely passive; it is active and discerning, indicating His divine awareness and intentionality in the situation. This highlights the omniscience of Christ, who is fully aware of the circumstances and the outcome, even before they unfold. He said This sickness will not end in death No, it is for the glory of God so that the Son of God may be glorified through it This sickness is not unto death--i.e., "will not issue in death: will not have death as its final result." (Comp. John 11:11; John 11:14. and John 8:51.) But for the glory of God--i.e., "the furtherance and accomplishment of the glory of God." That the Son of God might be glorified thereby.--This furtherance of the glory of God with the purpose of glorifying the Son carries us back, as all the expositors note, to the oneness of the work of the Father and Son which has been made prominent in our Lord's words. (Comp. John 10:38, and references in Note there.) But the words seem to carry us forwards as well as backwards. In the next chapter (John 11:23) our Lord says. "The hour is come that the Son of Man should be glorified," and the reference is to His death. Is that thought absent from the words here? The sickness of Lazarus would not indeed issue in death, though it would end in what men call death, and would be the immediate cause leading to the death of the Son of Man. The one would be as a sleep from which he would awake, the other should be the glorifying the Son of God, which would issue in the life of the world. . . . Verse 4. - When Jesus heard (it), he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. What message Jesus gave to these who brought him these tidings we know not; the evangelist records what he said to the bystanders. Our Lord did not mean to say that the sickness would not terminate in what men ordinarily call "death," nor that it was not a deadly disease, but that it was not πρὸς θάνατον. "He shall not fall a prey to death" (Meyer), The sickness is so timed that it shall conduce to the (δόξα Θεοῦ) glory of God, i.e. to the majestic appreciation of the sublime perfections of God, and that by or in it the Son of God may be glorified. Υπὲρ elsewhere in the Gospel means "sacrifice on behalf of;" so here the very suffering of Lazarus and of the sisters, and the tears of Jesus over the grave, are part of the sacrificial ministry by which the glory of God or of the Sun of God may be advanced.Parallel Commentaries ...
