Matthew Poole and continuators on John 11:15

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there (to the intent ye may believe ) nevertheless, let us go unto him.

Had I been upon the place, my kindness to his Sisters, and pity, would have prevailed far with me, to have prevented his Death; but it is better (for your sake at least) and I am glad I was not there.

For by this means I shall have an advantage, by putting forth my Divine Power in raising him from the Dead, to confirm your Faith in me as the Son of God, and the true Messias: therefore, tho he be Dead, let us go unto him.
