John 11:45 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:45

Then many of the Jews which came to Mary
To her house, to comfort her, and that came along with her to the grave:

and had seen the things which Jesus did;
in raising the dead body of Lazarus, and causing him to walk, though bound in grave clothes:

believed on him;
that he was the true Messiah: such an effect the miracle had on them; so that it was a happy day for them, that they came from Jerusalem to Bethany to pay this visit.

John 11:45 In-Context

43 And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

44 And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go.

45 Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed on him;

46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

47 The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs.
