This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 12:17. Ἐμαρτύρει, bare record) as to the miracle, at which they were present.-ἐφώνησεν ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου, called out of the tomb) The greatness of the miracle, and the ease with which it was performed, are most skilfully expressed. The style of Scripture is easy, when treating of the greatest things, therein surpassing in sublimity every sample of the sublime in oratory. The raising up of Lazarus is the crowning triumph of Christ’s miracles: the order of which latter may be compared with the order observed in the restoration of the human race. Let the expression, [God] said, Genesis 1., be compared with the verb, called, here.-καί) and so.
