“There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.”
Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him — a dinner celebrates Jesus' presence, with Martha serving in her characteristic role and Lazarus reclining as a guest, alive and restored. The domestic scene contrasts sharply with the political machinations of the Sanhedrin; in intimate community Jesus is honored and sustained.
