This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
43. ἐκραύγασεν. The word (rare in N.T. except in this Gospel) is nowhere else used of Christ. It is elsewhere used of the shout of a multitude; Joh 12:13, Joh 18:40, Joh 19:6; Joh 19:12; Joh 19:15. Comp. Mat 12:19; Act 22:23. This loud cry was perhaps the result of strong emotion, or in order that the whole multitude might hear. It is natural to regard it as the direct means of the miracle, awakening the dead: though some prefer to think that ‘I thank Thee’ implies that Lazarus is already alive and needs only to be called forth.
