Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
All Commentaries on John 11:1 Go To John 11
Bede
AD 735
After our Lord had departed to the other side of Jordan, it happened that Lazarus fell sick: A certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany. In some copies the copulative conjunction precedes, to mark the connection with the words preceding. Lazarus signifies helped. Of all the dead which our Lord raised, he was most helped, for he had lain dead four days, when our Lord raised him to life.
