Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 14. - Then Jesus therefore said to them plainly. Jesus spake at length (παῥῤησίᾳ) without metaphor (cf. ver. 11, note). Lazarus died; died, i.e. when he told them two days ago that this sickness would not have death as its end - died in the sense in which they ordinarily used the word. When Jesus described the condition of Lazarus in figurative language, he made use of a metaphor which would have peculiar application in his ease. The grace of Christ will turn the death of his beloved throughout all time into restful sleep. Lazarus was part of the method by which this transformation would be effected. The Christian idea soon found far richer expression than classical poetry or rabbinism could supply (Acts 7:60; Matthew 27:52; 1 Corinthians 15:6; 1 Thessalonians 4:13; Revelation 14:13).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) Lazarus is dead.--The words of deeper truth, "Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep," have conveyed no true meaning to their minds. He uses words, therefore, which fall short of that truth, but are the only words which they can understand.
