There was always a crowd of people that surrounded Jesus to watch him perform miracles. Jesus spoke to those who were near, to remove the stone. After the stone was removed, Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. True, I knew that you always hear me; but I spoke on account of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that you sent me.” (John 11:41,42)

What does Jesus say to Lazarus?
Jesus said: "TAKE the stone away." Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: "Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days." Jesus said to her: "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?" Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth." And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: "Laz′a‧rus, come on out!" The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: "Loose him and let him go." (John 11:39-44)

What are john 11 14 christian beliefs?
Here is John 11.14: Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. The Christian beliefs about this passage are plainly that it is simple and says what it means - that Jesus had answered his disciples when they asked about Lazarus, that he slept. But when they questioned him further, he told them plainly: Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. You can see how Jesus equates sleep with death; so different to our concepts.

What city was Jesus in when He heard that Lazarus was sick?
The account of the resurrection of Lazarus can be found at John 11:1-44. Shortly after Jesus heard that his dear friend Lazarus was sick, he decided to stay where he was for two more days rather than rush in with his healing powers to save Lazarus. His comment at John 11:4 was revealing...he said: "...This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”(NIV)Jesus knew that, when he arrived, Lazarus would be dead, but that he could resurrect him publicly, bringing glory to God, giving more proof that Jesus was indeed God's son and the Messiah, thus building the faith of those who observed.(John 11:41,42,45)
What does Lazarus mean?
In Luke's Gospel, Lazarus was the name of a figurative person in a parable about his death and hypothetical resurrection. He is not portrayed as a real person.John's Gospel, chapter 11, says that Lazarus was the brother of Mary and Martha, and tells of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. This became the trigger for the arrest and trial of Jesus, when the chief priests and Pharisees said (John 11:47-48), "What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation." Then in John 12:10, the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death.New Testament scholars notice that the two sisters, Mary and Martha, and Lazarus occur only in Luke's Gospel and John's Gospel. In Luke, Mary and Martha are not even the sisters of Lazarus, although the two accounts contain some important parallels.
Why did Jesus send Lazarus to hell for four days?
A:It is not so much that Jesus sent Lazarus to hell for four days, as that he seems to have deliberately delayed his arrival until John had been dead for four days. John 11:5 tells us that Jesus loved Mary and Martha, whose brother, Lazarus, he raised from the dead. Jewish tradition said that the soul departs the body after three days, so that resurrection must no longer be possible. We are repeatedly told that Lazarus has been dead four days and his body stinks, yet Jesus commands him to rise up out of his tomb and he came forth.An explanation of this is in the history of the passage. In the only other known record of Mary, Martha and Lazarus, Luke 10:38-42 contains a brief story of Jesus visiting the sisters Mary and Martha in a village and another story in which Jesus tells a parable about Lazarus that mentions his death and resurrection hypothetically. John 11:5 tells us that Jesus loved Mary and Martha, whose brother, Lazarus, he later raises from the dead. The coincidences of name, death and hypothetical or actual resurrection of Lazarus is taken as strong evidence that the concept was taken by the author of John from Luke's Gospel. The author knew that resurrection after more than three days was regarded as impossible, so conspicuously wrote this as a story of Jesus raising Lazarus after four days.
Do your dead loved ones watch over us?
No. They are dead. (Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all. . . When Jesus friend Lazarus died, Jesus likened death to sleep. (John 11:11-14) he said to them: "Laz′a·rus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep."  Therefore the disciples said to him: "Lord, if he has gone to rest, he will get well." Jesus had spoken, however, about his death. But they imagined he was speaking about taking rest in sleep. At that time, therefore, Jesus said to them outspokenly: "Laz′a·rus has died, We do not expect a sleeping person to see or hear us. A sleeper is unconscious, unable to act in anyone's behalf. However the Bible promises a resurrection for our deceased loved ones, when we will communicate with them again (as demonstrated by Jesus, with Lazarus) Jesus said to her (Martha): (John 11:25) "I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.
Why did Jesus weep in John 11?
Lazarus was well liked by all the Jews in the area but was a close friend to Jesus and his followers. He felt the remorse which all felt. This was put in to show the compassion that Jesus had.Whether this story is true or not, it is a great story to teach each of us, regardless of what we think of religion, that we should have compassion and care for our fellow man.Answer:Jesus wept for the people's lack of faith and understanding of the God they professed... not for His sadness over Lazarus's death.He was about to raise Lazarus out of death to reveal to these faithless people God's power and majesty. What was there about that to cry about?Jesus wept for the "darkness" and "unbelief" in which the people lived."...'Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?' So they took away the stone."Then Jesus looked up and said, 'Father, I thank you that you have heard Me. I knew that you always heard Me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent Me." (John 11:40-42 NIV)"...the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom [both the carnal minded result of the lack of divine understanding]: but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the Power of God, and the Wisdom of God." (I Cor.1:22-24)Jesus wept for the people's lack of understanding and belief... not for the loss of His friend Lazarus.
How did Lasarus die the second death?
A:The similarity of the stories of Lazarus, Martha and Mary in Luke's Gospel and John's Gospel can lead the casual reader to believe that the same Lazarus died and was resurrected twice. The confusion can be cleared up by understanding that John's Gospel was actually inspired by Luke's Gospel. It can then be understood that the author of John took the story from Luke and reworked it, producing a completely different but parallel story about Lazarus. In Luke's Gospel, Martha and Mary are sisters and friends of Jesus, but are not related to Lazarus. Jesus tells a parable of Lazarus dying and going down to hell where he meets a rich man being punished for his sins. The rich man asks for Lazarus to be raised from the dead so that he can warn his friends of the fate that awaits them. This Lazarus was not intended to be understood as a real person.John's Gospel says that Lazarus was the brother of Jesus' very close friends, Martha and Mary. His exact cause of death was unimportant, because Jesus was to raise Lazarus from the dead after several days. Having been raised from the dead, Lazarus was still mortal and would die again one day. The gospel does not say anything about the final death of Lazarus, although it does say that the priests talked about having Lazarus killed (John 12:10).For theological reasons, the author of John wanted to make the resurrection of Lazarus the final trigger for the arrest of Jesus. He therefore moved the Cleansing of the Temple out of the way, to the beginning of his story, almost immediately after Jesus met John the Baptist. In John 12:19, the turning point is identified: "The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.")
