Church Fathers on John 11:6
Our Lord heard of the sickness of Lazarus, but suffered four days to pass before He cured it; that the recovery might be a more wonderful one. When He had heard therefore that he was sick, He abode two days still in the place where He was.
To give time for his death and burial, that they might say, he stinks, and none doubt that it was death, and not a trance, from which he was raised.
Where He had just escaped being stoned; for this was the cause of His leaving. He left indeed as man: He left in weakness, but He returns in power.
