The House in Bethany ~ an early miniature of the church.
John 11:1
Now there was a certain man who was sick, Lazareth from Bethany,
of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Religion was the main frustration and opposition of Jesus.
Jn 10 shows Him withdrawing from those who were out to kill Him
to the place at the Jorden where John baptised and 'He remained there'
(Jn 10:40)
Bethany was the place where He would raise the dead, outside of religion
Yet He still remained frustrated by the disciples opinions ( 11:8-16)
Martha's opinions (11:32-33)
Mary's opinions (11:36-38)
Jewish opinion (11:36-38)
and again Martha's opinion (11:39-40)
Opinions are from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, so the Lord,
who is the tree of life that will remain when knowledge is gone,
had a job ahead to show His disciples where edification in Him was.
No one really knows the Lord, not even His church.
