Yochanan 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:6

When he had heard therefore that he was sick
Though Christ had heard that Lazarus was sick, and by such good hands, a message being sent him by his sisters, to acquaint him with it; and though he had such a very great love for him, and the whole family, yet he did not go directly to him, and to his assistance:

but he abode two days still in the same place where he was;
at Bethabara, beyond Jordan; this he did to try the faith and patience of the sisters of Lazarus, and that the miracle of raising him from the dead might be the more manifest, and his own glory might be the more illustrious, and yet equal, if not greater tenderness and love be shown to his friends.

Yochanan 11:6 In-Context

4 And having heard this, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, This machla (illness, krankeit) is not unto mavet (death), but for the kavod Hashem, that the Ben HaElohim may receive kavod through it.

5 Now Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had ahavah for Marta, and her achot and El’azar.

6 When, therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach heard that El’azar was choleh, then he remained in the place where he was yomayim (two days).

7 Then after this he says to his talmidim, Let us go into the land of Yehudah again.

8 His talmidim say to him, Rebbe, just now those of the land of Yehudah [Judeans] were seeking to stone you, and you go there again?
