John 11:
Probably not. I think this glory of God covered the stinky smell. Daniel's three friends were thrown into the blazing furnace in Daniel 3:
Martha expected a stinky smell.38 Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39 “Take away the stone,” Jesus said.
“Lord, by now he stinks,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”
Did Lazarus stink when he came out of the tomb?40 Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
Probably not. I think this glory of God covered the stinky smell. Daniel's three friends were thrown into the blazing furnace in Daniel 3:
John continued:26 Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!”
So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, 27 and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.
I don't think there was any stinky smell, and they unwrapped him.43b [Jesus] called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth.
“Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.
