This was a principal reason, among others, which induced them to set out in the manner they did, with palm tree branches in their hands, and accost him as the king of Israel, when they met him, and hosanna’d him into the city:<\/p>\n for that they heard that he had done this miracle<\/strong>; the witnesses were so many, and the proofs they gave so strong, that they firmly believed it: and this being a most amazing miracle, and which exceeded even any of the same kind; Jairus’s daughter was but just dead, and the widow of Nain’s son was not buried, when they were raised, but Lazarus had been dead and buried four days; it made a very strong impression upon the minds of the people, and engaged their attention to him, and belief in him.<\/p>\n The multitude <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>).

Clearly there was much talk about the raising of Lazarus as the final proof that Jesus in truth is the Messiah of Jewish hope. <\/P> <\/p>\n Met [] <\/SPAN><\/span>. The verb means to go to meet.

Matthew [Joh 21:9] and Mark call the former, those that went before; the latter, those that followed. One may infer from thence, that some of the spectators, entering the city, published the miracle, and so, accompanied by several more, came to meet the Lord; whilst others of them, constituting the larger number, tarried outside the rate, and afterwards followed the Lord when making His entry.<\/p>\n Joh 12:18<\/p>\n Joh 12:18<\/p>\n For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign.-On account of these witnesses, the interest of the people in Jesus was greatly increased.<\/p>\n Joh 12:9-11 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Luk 13:17 – and all Joh 12:11 – General Act 4:16 – What Act 4:21 – for all<\/p>\n 8<\/p>\n The testimony of the witnesses mentioned in the preceding verse, caused many others to believe on Him, which accounts for their actions described in verse 13.<\/p>\n Verse 18 <\/p>\n Met him; went out to meet him, as stated John 12:13.<\/p>\n For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. 18. this miracle ] ‘This’ is emphatic: other miracles had made comparatively little impression, but this sign had convinced even His adversaries.
