This was to shew that she had not only returned to life, but was also restored to perfect health; and to intimate, that though raised to life by extraordinary power, she must be continued in existence, as before, by the use of ordinary means. The advice of a heathen, on another subject, is quite applicable: {Nec Deus intersit, nisi dignus vindice nodus inciderit.} "When the miraculous power of God is necessary, let it be resorted to; when not necessary, let the ordinary means be used." To act otherwise would be to tempt God.
to give <1325> [Given.]
John 11:44
had died <2348> [he that.]
tied up ......... wrapped around <1210 4019> [bound.]
"Swathed about with rollers" or bandages, [keiria <\\See definition 2750\\>,] long strips of linen, a few inches in breadth, brought round the [sindon <\\See definition 4616\\>,] or sheet of linen in which the corpse was involved, and by which the [aromata,] or spices, were kept in contact with the flesh. In reply to sceptical objections, it is sufficient to observe, that he who could raise Lazarus from the dead, could, with a much less exertion of power, have so loosened or removed the bandages of his feet and legs as to have rendered it practicable for him to come forth. Tittman well observes, that Lazarus was restored not only to life but also to health, as appears from the alacrity of his motion; and this would constitute a new miracle.
