I am glad for your sakes I was not there--This certainly implies that if He had been present, Lazarus would not have died; not because He could not have resisted the importunities of the sisters, but because, in presence of the personal Life, death could not have reached His friend [LUTHARDT]. "It is beautifully congruous to the divine decorum that in presence of the Prince of Life no one is ever said to have died" [BENGEL]. that ye may believe--This is added to explain His "gladness" at not having been present. His friend's death, as such, could not have been to Him "joyous"; the sequel shows it was "grievous"; but for them it was safe (Phi 3:1).
افتح المصدر ↗In this chapter we have the history of that illustrious miracle which Christ wrought a little before his death - the raising of Lazarus to life, which is recorded only by this evangelist; for the other three confine themselves to what Christ did in Galilee, where he resided most, and scarcely ever carried their history into Jerusalem till the passion-week: whereas John's memoirs relate chiefly to what passed at Jerusalem; this passage therefore was reserved for his pen. Some suggest that, when the other evangelists wrote, Lazarus was alive, and it would not well agree either with his safety or with his humility to have it recorded till now, when it is supposed he was dead. It is more largely recorded than any other of Christ's miracles, not only because there are many circumstances of it so very instructive and the miracle of itself so great a proof of Christ's mission, but because it was an earnest of that which was to be the crowning proof of all - Christ's own resurrection. Here is, I. The tidings sent to our Lord Jesus of the sickness of Lazarus, and his entertainment of those tidings (v. 1-16). II. The visit he made to Lazarus's relations when he had heard of his death, and their entertainment of the visit (v. 17-32). III. The miracle wrought in the raising of Lazarus from the dead (Joh 11:33-44). IV. The effect wrought by this miracle upon others (Joh 11:45-57).

لأَجْلِ ذلِكَ أَنَا أَصْبِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لأَجْلِ الْمُخْتَارِينَ، لِكَيْ يَحْصُلُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا عَلَى الْخَلاَصِ الَّذِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، مَعَ مَجْدٍ أَبَدِيٍّ.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَسُوعُ، قَالَ:«هذَا الْمَرَضُ لَيْسَ لِلْمَوْتِ، بَلْ لأَجْلِ مَجْدِ اللهِ، لِيَتَمَجَّدَ ابْنُ اللهِ بِهِ».
كَتَبْتُ هذَا إِلَيْكُمْ، أَنْتُمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِاسْمِ ابْنِ اللهِ، لِكَيْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ لَكُمْ حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً، وَلِكَيْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِاسْمِ ابْنِ اللهِ.
هَا إِنَّهُمْ يَجْتَمِعُونَ اجْتِمَاعًا لَيْسَ مِنْ عِنْدِي. مَنِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْكِ فَإِلَيْكِ يَسْقُطُ.
وَلأَجْلِهِمْ أُقَدِّسُ أَنَا ذَاتِي، لِيَكُونُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا مُقَدَّسِينَ فِي الْحَقِّ.
لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ الأَشْيَاءِ هِيَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، لِكَيْ تَكُونَ النِّعْمَةُ وَهِيَ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ بِالأَكْثَرِينَ، تَزِيدُ الشُّكْرَ لِمَجْدِ اللهِ.
هذِهِ بِدَايَةُ الآيَاتِ فَعَلَهَا يَسُوعُ فِي قَانَا الْجَلِيلِ، وَأَظْهَرَ مَجْدَهُ، فَآمَنَ بِهِ تَلاَمِيذُهُ.
هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «كَمَا أَنَّ السُّلاَفَ يُوجَدُ فِي الْعُنْقُودِ، فَيَقُولُ قَائِلٌ: لاَ تُهْلِكْهُ لأَنَّ فِيهِ بَرَكَةً. هكَذَا أَعْمَلُ لأَجْلِ عَبِيدِي حَتَّى لاَ أُهْلِكَ الْكُلَّ.
أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وقَالَ:«لَيْسَ مِنْ أَجْلِي صَارَ هذَا الصَّوْتُ، بَلْ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ.
وَكَانَ مِنْ حِينِ وَكَّلَهُ عَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ، أَنَّ الرَّبَّ بَارَكَ بَيْتَ الْمِصْرِيِّ بِسَبَبِ يُوسُفَ. وَكَانَتْ بَرَكَةُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَفِي الْحَقْلِ،
