Commentary on John 11:4
Theological / DevotionalNot unto death. The sickness did result in death, but in this instance death was of only short duration and soon gave way to life.
But for. Gr. hina, here properly understood as a result clause (see on ch. 9:3). That is, glory would accrue to the name of God as a result of the sickness and death of Lazarus. God delights to take the devices of the enemy and overrule them for purposes of mercy in behalf of “them that love” Him (Rom. 8:28; DA 471).
