Place Martha & Mary’s i.e. Simon’s house viz. at Bethany

Strange that Martha & Mary being old acquaintances should be mentioned as strangers. But: two Chapters before VIII 2 Martha is one of the three women by whom he was principally supported. But as to most of the particulars concerning their family John alone speaks.

‘ That good part – non constat /not said/ what – perhaps the sexual. The spiritual interpretation is gratuitous.

    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.
