JOHN 11:1-45Now 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.

WOW! Impressive paintings. Love Tissot and Copping but also many others.
More variety today, I think. Wait until you see the final two days: Monday’s is one tapestry/six reliefs/thirteen icons/seven frescoes/eight etchings/one mosaic; Tuesday’s are all translucent.
Thanks, Ben. Our view....
Jesus chided Martha for her unhealthy focus on works, and presumably she desisted: she represents completed Jews.
Jesus praised Mary for her grace-full focus on Jesus: she represents born-again Gentiles.
Both welcome Lazarus to new life.
Love the goodaboom ones, very interesting. Lots of good ones. Especially like the lautermilch one, interesting take on the event, and I like how he depicted it so that the rising Lazarus directly connects with the viewer. Instead of being just an unconnected scene of a historical event. Makes it a little more personal to the viewer.
The 119 one would been cool if it had created the crowd outside gaze directly at the viewer, with Jesus extending his hand to come forward from death, pass from death unto life. The artist almost achieved that, but not quite, but still a neat twist on the scene
If you have a,ping list, could you add me to it? Thanks
Beautiful...

I've added you to the ping list, Bob. Please be aware this is not a daily series--I can only manage five or six of these posts weekly. Welcome aboard!
Stand by—the next two days have their distinct appeal, too.
By "atmospherics" I presume you mean Tissot's evokes the delightful aroma of decay issuing from the newly opened tomb.
I’m working on my ensuing of St Philip from on of your ,ast posts. I’m newlr6 finished, just trying to get motivated to finish it. It’s digital painting, using art rage and rebelle software. It’s looking pretty good so far, I’ll post it on my site when I’m done, and give a link
Yeah, I know it’s not daily, that’s why I wanted to be on ping list, because I don’t want to miss the threads you do post fro time to time. I don’t see all the posts on fr every day, so I miss a lot.
In the future, we’ll be seeing Philip here again, as I expect the story of him and the Ethiopian eunuch has generated sufficient art for a thread. Meanwhile, I look forward to seeing your work.
;-)
Wow! So many great paintings! Coping at 82, 90, 91 is especially creative and unusual in composition. It makes you ask, “How did Lazarus feel when he realized he was alive again?”
Then Dore delivers a great painting in 95.
Seeing these, I cannot pick a favorite, other than Dore’s & 91.
More questions come to mind: How did Mary and Martha feel? How could the Pharisees deny He was the Messiah? Here’s a man that was dead and buried for four days and notably stinking. How could anyone deny Jesus’ resurrection when Lazarus was still walking around as well?
You, sir, are a thinking man’s Christian. Very thought-provoking and inspiring—thank you!
