JOHN 11:1-45

Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. So the sisters sent word to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick."

When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it." Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days. Then he said to his disciples, "Let us go back to Judea."

"But Rabbi," they said, "a short while ago the Jews tried to stone you, and yet you are going back there?" Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? A man who walks by day will not stumble, for he sees by this world's light. It is when he walks by night that he stumbles, for he has no light."

After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up."

His disciples replied, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better." Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.

So then he told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

Then Thomas (called Didymus) said to the rest of the disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."

On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem, and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.

"Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask."

Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

Martha answered, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

"Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ,the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

And after she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. "The Teacher is here," she said, "and is asking for you." When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him. Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.

When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. "Where have you laid him?" he asked.

"Come and see, Lord," they replied.

Jesus wept.

Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"

But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?"

Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. "Take away the stone," he said.

"But, Lord," said Martha, the sister of the dead man, "by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days."

Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"

So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."

When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "LAZARUS, COME OUT!" The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.

Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go."

Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him.

What’s not captured by paintings is the smell.

Paging Dr. Scratchansniff

[LuigiBonnafini]

Martha’s Lament

Jesus my Lord, my Savior dear
He was your friend, didn’t you hear
I asked you to come, be close to us
Now he is dead, my dear Lazarus
You could have saved him, with just a word
I sent for you quickly, I’m sure you heard
Now he is gone, dead for four days
He’s paid the price that everyone pays
You’ve healed the blind, the lepers and lame
My brother, dear brother, do him the same
You speak of God’s glory, and of the last day
I just want my brother, but you were away
Roll back the stone? The smell will be bad
Our sorrow, our mourning, the pain we have had
You spoke with a shout
Lazarus, come out!
He rose, Dear God, what do I see
My brother, dear brother, looking at me
A joy, a feeling, my brother unbound
No words can describe the Savior we’ve found
————by Don Bower—————

[Hebrews 11:6]

Although many of the people depicted are reacting visibly to it. Presumably, Jesus’ miracle not only restored life but also reversed the body’s decomposition. No half-measures for the Great Physician.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Tremendous! Thanks for adding that.

[DannyTN]

Yes and no doubt instantly. But up until the miracle, Lazarus was already stinking.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Still covered in grave-clothes, though. We’re to help our brethren by removing them.

[etabeta]

All great paintings! I love the powerful and emotional intensity of the Caravaggio (#55). The raising of Lazarus is perhaps the best example of Jesus’ active reshaping of reality around him to birth hope in hopelessness.
Also in #71 moving is the grateful, joyous expression of Mary being touched by the hand of Jesus.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Dan, a most impressive array! I favor #68, the Magnasco, which comes close to capturing the scent of cerements.

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

"God save all here!"

[Hebrews 11:6]

The raising of Lazarus is perhaps the best example of Jesus’ active reshaping of reality around him to birth hope in hopelessness.

A very good morning to you, Alba! You ably articulate a profound point at this early hour, one which provokes reflection. At first glance, I think you're right.

[Hebrews 11:6]

It looks to me that what the fellow up-top is pulling so mightily is that very cerement (a new word for me). At any rate, there are no uninterested onlookers in Magnasco’s dramatic depiction; whether their reactions are olfactory or astonishment, or both, is the question.

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mary-Lou! Warm greetings to you.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

As usual, I skim through the paintings looking at the overall composition, the figures and background. I especially noted the rarity of an actual Palestinian grave where Lazarus walked out, as depicted in scripture. 72, 73, 74 all got it.

I get hung up over that one detail and ignore the rest of the painting if that’s not right.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I certainly agree. To me, failing to depict the tomb correctly in the face of such a plain text is artistic malpractice. Cannot fathom it.

[Albion Wilde]
