Commentary on John 11:18

Theological / Devotional

Bethany. See on v. 1.

Nigh unto Jerusalem. Doubtless mentioned to show that it would be convenient for many visitors from Jerusalem to be present (see v. 19). Among these visitors were some bitterly hostile to Jesus.

Fifteen furlongs. About 1.7 mi. (2.7 km.) (see p. 50).
