John Trapp on John 11:17-18

Verſe 17. That he had lien in the grave four dayes] So that he might ſeem now to come too late. The faith of the two ſiſters muſt needs be much ſhaken, to ſee their brother dead, though Chriſt had ſent them word he ſhould not die. Hold out faith and patience, God will be ſeen in the mount: he uſually reſerves his hand for a dead lift, when our faith begins to flag and hang the wing, when our ſtrength is gone, and we have given up all for loſt. Iſa. 33 10. Now will I ariſe, ſaith the Lord, now will I be exalted, now will I lift up my ſelfe.
