With this visit we place the Raising of Lazarus (John 11. 1-46), a miracle narrated only by John, and told because it led directly to the conspiracy against the life of Jesus (John 11. 47, 48).
8. A Visit to Peræa. (From Bethany to Ephraim and Peræa.) Trace the journey from John 11. 54, and Mark 10. 1. Jesus stayed some months in Peræa, preaching to his people.
Many events might be given with this Peræan ministry, of which we name only, 1.) Blessing the Children (Mark 10. 13-16). 2.) The Rich Young Ruler (Mark 10. 17-25). 3.) Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15. 11-32).
9. A Second Visit to Bethany. (From Peræa, through Jericho, to Bethany.) Notice the journey in Mark 10. 32, 46; John 12. 1.
With this journey notice the events, 1.) The Healing of Bartimæus (Mark 10. 46, 52). 2.) The Visit to Zacchæus (Luke 19. 1-10). 3.) The Anointing by Mary (John 12. 1-8). This brings the life of Christ within one week of the Crucifixion, and completes the period.
