Contextual Overview

¹ And a certaine man was sicke, named Lazarus of Bethania, the towne of Marie, and her sister Martha. ² (And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with oyntment, and wiped his feete with her heare, whose brother Lazarus was sicke.) ³ Therefore his sisters sent vnto him, saying, Lord, beholde, he whome thou louest, is sicke. ⁴ When Iesus heard it, he saide, This sickenes is not vnto death, but for the glorie of God, that the Sonne of God might be glorified thereby. ⁵ Nowe Iesus loued Martha and her sister, and Lazarus. ⁶ And after he had heard that he was sicke, yet abode hee two dayes still in the same place where he was. ⁷ Then after that, said he to his disciples, Let vs goe into Iudea againe. ⁸ The disciples saide vnto him, Master, the Iewes lately sought to stone thee, and doest thou goe thither againe? ⁹ Iesus answered, Are there not twelue houres in the day? If a man walke in the day, hee stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if a man walke in the night, hee stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. Not only with an everlasting love, a love of complacency and delight, an unchangeable one, and which never varies, nor will ever end, with which he loves all his people alike; but with a very great human affection, and which was very singular and peculiar to them: these were the intimate friends, and familiar acquaintance of Christ, whom he often visited, at whose house he frequently was when in those parts; they were very hospitable to him; they kindly received him into their houses, and generously entertained him, and which he returned in love to them: hence Nonnus paraphrases the words,

"Jesus loved the women, φιλοξεινους, "who were lovers of hospitality", by the law of kindness.''

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 11:5. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. — Therefore his staying two days longer in Bethabara was not through lack of affection for this distressed family, but merely that he might have a more favourable opportunity of proving to them how much he loved them. Christ never denies a less favour, but in order to confer a greater. God's delays, in answering prayers offered to him by persons in distress, are often proofs of his purpose to confer some great kindness, and they are also proofs that his wisdom finds it necessary to permit an increase of the affliction, that his goodness may be more conspicuous in its removal.
