Commentary on John 12:1
John notes precise chronology: six days before Passover, Jesus returns to Bethany, placing Him in danger's proximity. The mention of Lazarus identifies location and sets up the supper's significance—the raised man sits with the Raiser. This dinner probably occurred on the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday evening), making the next day's entry (12:12) Sunday. The chronological precision demonstrates eyewitness testimony. Jesus' return to Bethany shows courage—He enters the danger zone at God's appointed time.
