Did Jesus weep?
Who is the resurrection and the life?
Isaiah 18:4: How does the imagery of God quietly observing nations square with other passages where God is depicted as actively intervening?
How can patience strengthen your faith in God's timing?(5) Now Jesus loved Martha.--It is not easy to see the connection of this verse with that which precedes, or with that which immediately follows. The fact of His abiding two days where He was, seems indeed opposed to the thought of His special love for the family. The most probable explanation is that which connects John 11:5-7 together, and makes the love the motive for going into Judaea again. The word rendered "loved" here is different from that inJohn 11:3. There the word signifies the love of tender affection; here the word, means the love of chosen friendship. (Comp.John 20:2;John 21:15et seq.) The difference here is not to be explained, as it frequently has been, by the difference in the persons who were the objects of the love; but by the difference of the persons whose words we read. In the language of the sisters, whose hearts are moved by the brother's illness, the word of fullest emotion is natural. In the language of the Evangelist the other word is no less so. It will be observed that in this verse, as inJohn 11:19et seq., Martha takes the first place as the elder sister. . . . Verse 5. - Now Jesus loved ( ἠγάπα) Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. "Felix familia!" (Bengel). Martha is here mentioned first, because in all probability the head of the household. The love of selection, friendship, or esteem is the result of long acquaintance, and reveals "the fragmentariness of the evangelic records" (Westcott); see note on ver. 3.
