COMMENTARY.- 1. Chtiet cometh to
Bethany (vs. 1-311. Aloes had no home
of hie own, but he often rested. at the
homes o Ikis friends. The bone et
Mary, Martha and Lawns was one of
his homes. Only a few weeks before tho
time of this lesson Christ vieitea this
family at Bethany Pike 10:38-42).
Soon. after Jesus had left them Lazarus
eves taken siek (v. I). The Batten at
once sent a message to Jesus (v. 3).
They made no request, but the message
itself was a prayer, "Lord, behold, be
whom thou lovest is Melee" Jesus waited
two days tater receiving the heave of
the daugerous illness of Lazarus before
starting to Bethany (v, 0), He Wes 40-
eonapamed by his disciples, who felt they
were going into great danger on account
•of the hostile feeling of tbe Jews against
their Master (vs. 8, 16). Jesus arrived
at Bethany when Lazarus had been dead
and buried four daye (v. 17), the befall,
according to the Jewish custom taleivig
place on the same clay on whicli'he died.
Martha first heard that Jesus was cove
aud, without notifying May, sae
went to meet him just outside the vil-
lage (vs. 20, 30), She greeted him with
those words of sorrowful .despair -
"Lord, if thou Midst been bore my broth.
er had. not (lied" (via 21, 22). But even
then there was a dawn of hope in her
heart, from her experience of the power
of Jesus. Jesus replied with the ewer.
once that he was "the resurrection and
the life," and prepared her for the great
wara he was about to •do (vs. 23-27).
When Martha's faith and hope were as
sured, Jesus bade her go and bring her
sister, with -the message: "The abater
is come and calleth for thee" (v. 28).
• Jesus seems to have avoided going to
the house, because so mealy Jews were
there. His work of comfort and instruc-
tion could best be done with the sisters
alone. "He did not come to join in fu-
neral lamentation', but to take away
the need of them"
IL Christ's compassion M. 32-37). 32.
fell down -Oriental wailing is said. by
travellers to be indescribable. "Aftm
the Luriai the women still go to the

for four more /coatings and arailings are
the prominent characteristics." if thou
hadst been here -"These words express
• the very essence of soul torture at Etta
times. In our affliction eve continually
echo the if of these sisters, saying to
ourselves, if we had done this; or if we
had done that, or if it had not been for
our blunder, or that of our friends, ler
that of our physician, our beloved would
nob have died. But read verse 4 of this
thaptee. Chance is the god of atheism,
and is a comfortiese god in the time of
our trouble." -Abbott.
33. groaned in the spirit -This is a
strange terra and is better rendered by
the margin the Revised Version -
"was moved with indignation in the
spirit." The Greek word. hero translat-
ed "groaned" expresses indignation rath-
er than grief. "Jesus was indignant at
the hypocritical and sentimental lamen-
tations of his enemies, the Jews, ming-
ling with the heartfelt sorrow of his lov-
ing friend Mary." -Plummer. "These
self-righteous Jews, 'now weeping and
groaning in professional sorrow with
Mary, were men who would some be
plotting to kill, not only Jesus, but the
restored Lazarus" (compare chape12:10)•
But Liddell and Scett state that here
the word means "deeply moved;" this,
however, would not be at variance with
the other explanations.- was troubled -

bably the meaning is that he allowed his

ters, Not that jesuse Aid not know, but

nity to sympathize with the dist:ea:eel

tears suggest that weeping and working
blend well. Tears were shed by our Sav-
iour only on the eve of His mightiest
works. It is mockery for us to weep over
the "errhig ones" and then do tothing
to save them." Cuyler. "With these feel-
ings there mingled the certainty of his
own bitter aeatla the picture of he un-
believing Jews, a fallen race, bastening
on to a -death which has no end, and nil
that first moved Him to pity ma a mid
come down to save him".
PRACTICAL .APPLIOATIONS,
"Jams wept" (v. 35.) 'Three times the
tears of Jests are recorded, Jesus wept
fle a substitute, pouring out this soul in
e sacrificial weeping over a lost. world
(Heb. 51 7); as a propltet, over the
doomed. city (Luke 19; 41II as a friend

ing- his tears for 'Alamos, said, "Boliold.

says: he,

ed.. to find friends among mortals, On

gister as the. pear people. Jesus wept.
lie was not ashamed to own the ethic -

Resurrection and the life. He could
have repressed. his tears, as many ,do
habitually. But he eves never unnatta
rat. Ire was free from pride, and were
his heart where men could see it. He did
not disdain the feebleness of that m-
ai:mho had taken that he might redeem
it to God."
Jesus was truly Immo in his sympa-
thies. He did not mostly walk about
like a man, but he .was always in touch
with sorrow, as ono ."acquainted with
grief" Isa. 53; 3.) "Because there meets
in Jesus the tenderness of ammo pity
mud the fatness of divine power, he sat-
isfies the deepest cravings of our hearts,.
in sin sorrow, weakness, doubt or fear,
we need sympathy But it ie hard. to
find. What troubles us does not trou-
ble those abut us. As our trial is pecu-
liar, so the circle of those Who can syna
pathize with it is ululate But what we
cannot find in any human beiug we find
ht Jesus." He is touched with the feel-
ing of our infirmities (Heb, 4; 15.) But
he does more; his heart as not only pita
Eal, his hand is strong to save. Anti
Wo will have power to help others when
we have real sympathy with sorrow
There was no bitterness in Ohrist'S
grief. He never murmured against his
Father's will, nor found fault with his
dispensation. • The first -word. of bit
prayee was "Father," and the fiat sen-
tence a thanksgiving (v. 41,) If we can
leek up through our tears and cry, "Fa-
ther," if our first wor1 in bereavetteut
is praise that God loves us and heats
us, there iS no bitterneesin our grief,
and. ours is a sanotified sorrow without

jesus wept and then commanded. He
cried, "Lazarus, come forth" (v. 43.) 13e
said, -"Loose him and let him go" (v. 44.)
Jesus wept, bat he did more. Tears are
not enough if there is something we can
do to remove the cease of grief or as-
suage it. Spurgeon says: "Those tears
for -the sorrowing ones of Bethanywere
tomes on a human grave." Both sisters
said to Jesus, "Lord, if thou hadst been
here, my brother had not died." (vs. 21,
32.) Over agaiust their "if" Jesus -laid
another. "Said I not unto thee, flat,
'if' thou woulast believe, thou ebouldet
Pet the glory of God?" (v. 40.) If we
believe, we saall see. David wrotc,

Poe the goodoesi tif God" (Psa. 27; 13.)
36. How He loved hint -A spontane-
ous testimony from those Jews of the
tenderness of the on of God. 37. Could The Israelites "believed to see" when in
the day of darkness and trial, we step
out "upon the seeming void, and find
the rock beneath." Christ delays "to the
intent" that we may believe (v. 15.) If
the case be desperate, when relief comes
we "see the glory of God.'
"Ire that was dead canto forth" (v.
44.) Meathsaid to Jesus, "I know,
that even aow, whatsoever thou wilt
ask of God, God will give it thee" (v.
22.) Jesus would not grant a miracle

neighborhood, while the two previous
miracles of raising the dead (Luke 7,
11-17; 8, 41-50), were performed in dis-
tant Galilee, about one year and a half
before." Several leading commentators
think that these Jews were unbelieving
and now refer to the healing of the blind

that if he eould have done that, then
he could have kept Lazarus alive, and
real love .would have prompted Him to
do it if He hail power. Wliedon, how-
