Description

This passage from the Gospel of John, chapter 11, recounts the story of Lazarus's illness, death, and subsequent raising from the dead by Jesus. Initially, Jesus delays his arrival despite being informed of Lazarus's sickness, stating the situation is for God's glory. Upon arriving in Bethany, Jesus has a significant dialogue with Martha and Mary, proclaiming himself as the resurrection and the life. Finally, at the tomb, Jesus commands Lazarus to come out, demonstrating his power over death, a miracle that leads some to believe in him but also incites the chief priests and Pharisees to plot against Jesus.
