Commentary on John 12:2
They prepare a supper honoring Jesus, with Martha serving (consistent with her character, Luke 10:40). Lazarus' presence at the table demonstrates resurrection's reality—he lives, eats, and fellowships. His silent presence testifies more powerfully than words. Martha's service shows genuine hospitality, not mere duty. The meal's fellowship dimension contrasts the Sanhedrin's murder plot. This supper embodies kingdom values: resurrection life, loving service, intimate communion. It previews the marriage supper of the Lamb.
