John 11:38

Lazarus Raised from the Dead

11:38 Jesus, intensely moved again, came to the tomb. (Now it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.)

John 19:42

19:42 And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus’ body there.


tn Or (perhaps) “Jesus was deeply indignant.”

sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

sn The day of preparation was the day before the Sabbath when everything had to be prepared for it, as no work could be done on the Sabbath.

sn The tomb was nearby. The Passover and the Sabbath would begin at 6 p.m., so those who had come to prepare and bury the body could not afford to waste time.
