1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”
4 But when Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was.
7 Then after this He said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?”
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 “But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11 This He said, and after that He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep.”
12 The disciples then said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep.
14 So Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
15 and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.”
16 Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”
17 So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off;
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house.
21 Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 “Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,
26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world.”
28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
29 And when she heard it, she got up quickly and was coming to Him.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.
31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and consoling her, when they saw that Mary got up quickly and went out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesus wept.

v.1-2
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
Jesus had friends Lazarus, Bethany, and Mary.
We know of Martha and Mary. These are the sisters that served Jesus and His disciples. Martha working and Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus (Luke 10:39)
This is the same Mary the rubbed perfume on Jesus’ feet.
7 a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table.
v.3-6
v.3-6
3 So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”
4 But when Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was.
So Jesus got word that Lazarus was sick, but He says that His illness would not lead to death but to the glory of God.
Results/ Purpose
Results/ Purpose
in this case, we have the chance to see our Lord work in the scope of Results and Purpose.
Sometimes we can talk to someone and say to them, “You dont see the bigger picture
military sleep deprivation story.
‘Jesus is speaking with purpose here
The purpose is to bring glory to the Lord, to display His power
you see the result was in Lazarus being sick, but there is a purpose
7Then after this He *said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8The disciples *said to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?”
9Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10“But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11This He said, and after that He *said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep.”
the disciples were concerned. Jesus wanted to return to the location where they wanted to kill Him.
sleep
sleep
the disciples didn’t understand what Jesus means when He speaks on sleep
As Nicodemus misunderstood the metaphor of birth (3:4)
the Samaritan woman the symbol of water (4:15),
so the disciples misconstrue Jesus’ reference to death as “sleep.”
John 11:12-16
12The disciples then said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep.
14So Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
15and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.”
16Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”
- Jesus makes it clear that Lazarus is dead.
- but Jesus has a plan to confirm there belief.
- the disciples agree to go thinking death is coming.
17So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
18Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off;
19and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but aMary stayed at the house.
two different sisters

Mary - emotions
working, sitting
20Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but aMary stayed at the house.
21Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
Martha says……
‘we see the disappointment in the death of her brother.
22“Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”
23Jesus *said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24Martha *said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,
26and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27She *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world.”
Martha is clearly in pain, She is hurting because of the death of her brother
But............
She knows that He is God.
28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
29 And when she heard it, she got up quickly and was coming to Him.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.
31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and consoling her, when they saw that Mary got up quickly and went out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesus wept.
Mary fell to His feet
Mary was at His feet learning,
now she is at His feet in moaning
still doubt
still doubt
36 So the Jews were saying, “See how He loved him!”
37 But some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have kept this man also from dying?”
Even than, In the height of our emotions do we doubt God? Do we get upset?
