Ch. 46 Lazarus

John XI. 1. to 46 Sole narrator

Time uncertain: except that it was after the liberation of the adulteress

Place Bethany but 15 furlongs from Jerusalem. House that in which Lazarus and his Sisters Mary and Martha lived. Thus Bethany XI. 1. is at the same place in which per X 40 he abode and which was not in Judæa but beyond Jordan? (ibid.)

XI. 35 (Jesus wept) Yet per v. 6 to 23 he knew that he had power to revive him and was determined to […?] it: and this for the purpose of manifesting his power. What then was there to weep for? His grief was a sham supposing the story to have any foundation in fact.

v. 41. Father I thank thee that thou hast heard me) The Trinitarians what say they to this? for this was in the exercise of supernatural power not in his character of mere man.

45. Then many which had seen &c believed in him: but some went to the Pharisees &c. Here then if there was really any attempt at a miracle, it did not pass upon all who saw it. Some there were and perhaps many more than those upon whom it passed, that notwithstanding the napkin &c […?] did not believe that Lazarus had ever died

v. 13 (Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought &c.) Such is the case continually: more particularly in John’s accounts. When he speaks, not only the result is but the intended result is that his meaning shall be misconceived. He speaks in riddles: and deception is the object of all these riddles.

Probably this affair had some foundation in fact. Either a real burial or a report of one. Mary and Martha were of the number of women that went on the progress with him, and clubbed to maintain him.

Ch. 46

Lazarus raised from the dead. Of those who see it some believe, others do not, but go off and make report to the Pharisees.

    Ch. 96 Temple purged

    Time a little before the passover day not specified

    Place Jerusalem

    Per Luke XIX. {Went out into Bethany and lodged there} viz. probably at Lazarus’s where lived Martha and Mary. In John IX. | | to | | {the fig-tree withered} Probably one of the contrived miracles. After he had cursed somebody went and cut the roots of it: figs or no figs it would equally serve for being cursed – though for this miracle it was rather unfortunate that at the time when the demand for miracles of all sorts was so urgent, ‘the time of figs was not yet’. Mark XI. 13.

    {All things … ye ask … believing ye shall receive} Add this to the prophecies disfulfilled.

    Here as before, why forgiveness thus inculcated immediately after faith? Answer – Success depended partly upon devotedness, partly upon union. Continually contesting for precedency, and discontented by the non-arrival of the expected kingdom they were very difficultly kept from quarrelling.

    As to the clearing of the temple, the carrying on their trades in it it may naturally be supposed – that as observed by the […?] it was against law: and that in such sort that it depends on any man to put an end to the transgression, as well as it does to abate a nuisance. As it carried the appearance of an exercise of authority it procured him at the same time impunity as against the ruling powers, and respect at the hands of the people.

    As to the temple-clearing the story is told by John at the very outset of his career next after the first miracle, viz. the wine making. But by John no time is mentioned: only such is the order of the mention. Much more likely so bold a thing should be done at the time of this last desperate push, when a party had been formed than at the outset.

    {When eve was come he went out of the city} Probably to Bethany where his headquarters were with Lazarus – where per John he resuscitated though none of the three others mention it.

    Ch. 96

    The temple cleared of the money changing and other trades. Excursion to Bethany. Cursed for not having figs on it when it was not the time for figs, a fig-tree withers: Faith and forgiveness inculcated. Whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing ye shall receive.
