I was just studying this morning and noticed that the resurrection of Lazarus had two sides and Jesus did too... There were believers, of course if you read the whole chapter before the event happened Jesus disciples didn't believe that he could raise the dead either... Where was their Faith?... After Lazarus was raised from the dead different story... Verse 45 says there were many Jews there that believed on him when they saw the things he did... But there were other Jews in authority that it chilled them to the very marrow of their bones... Wasn't the reverse true when Jesus died?... The Chief Priest and Pharisees... Enough of that Rebellious Rebel Rouser... Peter... I go fishing.. Well all of it lasted 3 days... "THEN!"... As always your comments are valued and appreciated... Brother Glen:)
John 11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
11:46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
11:47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
11:48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
