Johannes 11:1 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:1

Now a certain man was sick
Very likely of a fever; Nonnus calls it a morbid fire, a hot and burning disease:

[named] Lazarus of Bethany;
for his name, which the Ethiopic version reads "Eleazar", and the Persic version "Gazarus", (See Gill on Luke 16:24); and for the place Bethany, (See Gill on Matthew 21:1), (See Gill on Matthew 21:17).

The town of Mary and her sister Martha;
where they were both born, as well as Lazarus, or at least where they dwelt; of the former, some account is, given in the next verse, and of the latter, (See Gill on Luke 10:38).

Johannes 11:1 In-Context

1 Es lag aber einer krank mit Namen Lazarus, von Bethanien, in dem Flecken Marias und ihrer Schwester Martha.
2 (Maria aber war, die den HERRN gesalbt hat mit Salbe und seine Füße getrocknet mit ihrem Haar; deren Bruder, Lazarus, war krank.)
3 Da sandten seine Schwestern zu ihm und ließen ihm sagen: HERR, siehe, den du liebhast, der liegt krank.
4 Da Jesus das hörte, sprach er: Die Krankheit ist nicht zum Tode, sondern zur Ehre Gottes, daß der Sohn Gottes dadurch geehrt werde.
5 Jesus aber hatte Martha lieb und ihre Schwester und Lazarus.
