Commentary on John 11:1

This verse introduces the greatest sign in John's Gospel, foreshadowing Christ's own resurrection. Lazarus's name means 'God has helped', prophetically fitting. His identification through his sisters (Mary and Martha) shows the family's prominence in the believing community. Bethany, meaning 'house of affliction', becomes the place where Christ's glory triumphs over death itself, demonstrating His power over humanity's greatest enemy.
