John 11 30 Bonus Section
The detail that Lazarus had been "lying in the tomb" for four days (John 11:17) is significant in Jewish tradition. According to Rabbinic thought at the time, by the fourth day, the "spirit" of the deceased would have completely departed, and decomposition would have visibly begun, making any possibility of natural revival or belief in continued consciousness extremely remote. This detail thus underscores the impossibility of Lazarus' revival by any human means, amplifying the miracle and making Jesus' subsequent action a definitive demonstration of divine power, thereby fulfilling His earlier statement in John 11:4: "This illness does not result in death, but in the glory of God."
John 11 30 Commentary
Jesus was informed of Lazarus' death and burial. This information did not cause Him distress, but rather, He understood the spiritual implications and how this event would serve to glorify God and reveal His own divine nature. While people around Him saw only death and sorrow, Jesus saw an opportunity to display His power over it, strengthening the faith of believers and leading others to believe in Him as the Son of God. The waiting period and the report of Lazarus being entombed for four days heightened the expectation and the significance of what Jesus was about to do, confirming that death had already set in.
