«Chapter 11»

On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. 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.

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.

Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.

“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many miraculous signs. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all! You do not realize that IT IS BETTER FOR YOU THAT ONE MAN DIE FOR THE PEOPLE THAN THAT THE WHOLE NATION PERISH.”

Many artists have complicated the mis-en-scene. Leave it to Rubens to dramatize and uncomplicate it.

All great paintings!
#1 Fichefet, solid Belgian Impressionist painter, watercolorist.
#2, Bloch, the great Danish artist whose admiration for Rembrandt became the driving force in his artistic development. To this day, his paintings of the Life and Death of Christ are studied by young artists all over the world. Brilliant colors, depth, composition...eternal Bloch.
#8 Tanner - his religious paintings earned him international recognition.
#10 Bertin. He was popular in France in the 17th c. for his religious and allegorical themes.
#15 Gallego. Major Castillian artist of the 15th c. His paintings show individuality, inventive compositions, dramatic intensity which were not seen in Spanish art of that period. In his work we can see the influence by Rogier van der Weyden and other Flemish masters.

The Rubens, at #30, does indeed single itself out, as you assert. Action fairly explodes out of it—which, after all, is the point of the entire incident: Jesus acts, and now Laz does, too.

Yesterday, I began preparing the individual artists’ pages for the artists’ survey to be published at the end of the series, and I particularly enjoyed reading Bloch’s biography.
