How is it that such great significance is attached to this miracle of Lazarus in the Gospel of John? And how is it that the disciple whom Jesus loved appears only after the miracle of Lazarus? Read the Gospel of John from this point of view and you will not be able to understand it, but you will believe it when someone who knows it tells you that this miracle of Lazarus performed by the disciple whom Jesus loved is an avowal of something that John himself experienced. At that time he became the awakened disciple whom Jesus loves. This self-confession is appreciated by those who know the style of such presentations from ancient times, when they were not written down but proclaimed over and over again from the pulpits. You don't often find such self-confessions that this or that person was dear to someone. That is why the miracle is only told in the Gospel of John, precisely because it is a self-confession. This is also the reason why the deepest things are told in the Gospel of John, namely the life of Jesus himself. This is also the reason why the one who originally lived it – not the writer – knew it best. Let us read the Gospel of John in a typical way, and decipher the deeper meaning in it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XLV.

Lesen Sie von diesem Gesichtspunkte aus betrachtet das Johannes-Evangelium, und Sie werden zwar nicht einsehen können, aber Sie werden es demjenigen, der es wissen kann, glauben, dass dieses Lazarus-Wunder des Jüngers, den Jesus lieb hatte, ein Selbstbekenntnis ist für etwas, das Johannes selbst erlebt hat. Damals ist er der erweckte Jünger geworden, den Jesus lieb hat. Dieses Selbstbekenntnis weiß derjenige zu würdigen, der den Stil solcher Darstellungen der uralten Zeiten kennt, wo sie nicht niedergeschrieben wurden, aber immer und immer wieder von den Lehrstühlen verkündigt worden sind. Solche Selbstbekenntnisse, dass der oder jener einem lieb war, finden Sie nicht sehr oft. Das ist der Grund, warum das Wunder nur im Johannes-Evangelium erzählt wird, eben weil es ein Selbstbekenntnis ist.
