Commentary on John 11:39
Jesus commands the stone's removal, requiring human cooperation in divine miracle. Martha's protest about decay (four days dead) reflects natural human concerns. Her 'Lord' address shows respect despite objection. The Greek 'ozei' (stinks) is blunt—she expects putrefaction's odor. Martha's practical concern contrasts her earlier faith confession (v. 27), revealing how confession and trust coexist with doubt. Jesus will work despite human weakness and natural decay. Nothing is too far gone for resurrection power.
