Lazarus

Mary was Lazarus' sister. Mary of Mary and Martha. Mary with the costly perfume washing Jesus' feet. They (Mary, Martha, Lazarus', and Jesus) were all very close. Jesus spent a lot of time with them. They lived in Judea where everyone was wanting to kill Jesus. AND HE WENT BACK to RAISE LAZARUS from the dead. I have a feeling he could have done it from anywhere in the world that he was standing. He didn't have to go back. He healed a child once with words. He just told her father to go home because she had been sleeping. But, Jesus went back. He wanted to comfort those and who were greiving. He had to of known there would be Jews from the city there wanting to rat on Him. He went anyway and Mary ran to him the minute she heard he was there. She had pure belief in Jesus. PURE. I found the Sanhedrins comments about Jesus chilling. They felt Jesus had to die or their nation would be taken from them by the Romans. It makes more and more sense. The Sanhedrin said that Jesus dying would unite the lost children of God and the Jews and save their nation.

John 11

The Plot to Kill Jesus


45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.” 49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all! 50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.” 51 He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation, 52 and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one. 53 So from that day on they plotted to take his life.
