Juan 11:43 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:43

And when he had thus spoken
To God his Father, in the presence and hearing of the people;

he cried with a loud voice;
not on account of the dead, but for the sake of those around him, that all might hear and observe; and chiefly to show his majesty, power and authority, and that what he did was open and above board, and not done by any secret, superstitious, and magical whisper; and as an emblem of the voice and power of his Gospel in quickening dead sinners, and of the voice of the arcangel and trumpet of God, at the general resurrection;

Lazarus come forth;
he calls him by his name, not only as being his friend, and known by him, but to distinguish him from any other corpse that might lie interred in the same cave; and he bids him come forth out of the cave, he being quickened and raised immediately by the power which went forth from Christ as soon as ever he lifted up his voice; which showed him to be truly and properly God, and to have an absolute dominion over death and the grave.

42 Ya sabía yo que siempre me escuchas, pero lo dije por la gente que está aquí presente, para que crean que tú me enviaste.

43 Dicho esto, gritó con todas sus fuerzas:—¡Lázaro, sal fuera!

44 El muerto salió, con vendas en las manos y en los pies, y el rostro cubierto con un sudario.—Quítenle las vendas y dejen que se vaya —les dijo Jesús.
