Contextual Overview

¹Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived. ²It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, "Lord, he [our brother and Your friend] whom You love is sick." ⁴When Jesus heard this, He said, "This sickness will not end in death; but [on the contrary it is] for the glory and honor of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it." ⁵Now Jesus loved and was concerned about Martha and her sister and Lazarus [and considered them dear friends]. ⁶So [even] when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed in the same place two more days. ⁷Then He said to His disciples, "Let us go back to Judea." ⁸The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi (Teacher), the Jews were only recently going to stone You, and You are [thinking of] going back there again?" ⁹Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours [of light] in the day? Anyone who walks in the daytime does not stumble, because he sees [by] the light of this world. ¹⁰"But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then said Jesus unto them plainly,.... Without a figure, when he perceived they did not understand him, and yet it was a very easy and usual metaphor which he had made use of; but such was the present stupidity of their minds, that they did not take in his meaning: wherefore, without reproaching them with it, he said to them in so many words,

Lazarus is dead. The Persic version reads, "Lazarus is dead indeed", as he really was.
