John 11:15 (KJV)
Commentary on John 11:15
Jesus expresses gladness 'for your sakes'—not about Lazarus' death but about the opportunity for strengthened faith. His absence from Bethany was providential, allowing death to occur and greater glory to result. The purpose clause 'that ye may believe' indicates the miracle's evidential design. This demonstrates God's sovereignty: even Jesus' geographical location serves divine purposes. The phrase anticipates growth in the disciples' faith through witnessing resurrection power.
