This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Joh 11:15. Ὅτι οὐκ ἤμην ἐκεῖ, that I was not there) It is beautifully consonant with Divine propriety, that no one is ever read of as having died whilst the Prince of life was present. If you suppose that death could not, in the presence of Jesus, have assailed Lazarus, the language of the two sisters, Joh 11:21; Joh 11:32, attains thereby a more sublime conception, “Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother had not died:” and thereby also the joy of the Lord at His own absence is illustrated.-πρὸς αὐτόν, unto him) to the place where he lies dead.
