SIL Translator’s Notes on John 11:43

11:43

After Jesus had said this: The Greek clause that the Berean Standard Bible translates as After Jesus had said this indicates that Jesus had finished his prayer. For example:

When Jesus had finished praying (Contemporary English Version)

He called out in a loud voice: These words indicates that Jesus shouted or called out loudly. For example:

he shouted as loudly as he could (God’s Word)

Lazarus, come out!: This sentence commands Lazarus to become alive and come out of the tomb. Jesus’ command made this possible. It caused the act that it commanded to happen. In some languages it may be more natural to say where he was to come out from. For example:

Lazarus, come out of that tomb!
