John 11:1-7, 32-36

a story we're all familiar with:

John 11:1-7, 32-36

1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.* 2 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.* 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick." 4 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." 5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days. 7 Then he said to his disciples, "Let us go back to Judea."

32 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."* 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.* 34 "Where have you laid him?" he asked. "Come and see, Lord," they replied. 35 Jesus wept.* 36 Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"

*11:1 = Lk 10:38 - As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.

*11:2 =
Jn 12:3 - Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

*11:4 = Jn 11:40 - Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"

*11:32 = Jn 11:21 - "Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

*11:33 = Jn 12:27 - "Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.

*11:35 = Lk 19:41 - As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it

there's something in verse 4 that i had never noticed before...Jesus said that Lazarus' sickness would not end in death!...he gave the hint of the miracle right there...
i wonder if anyone who heard that made the connexion at the time?...
