    The two halves of John 12 have a very different tone‚ as Jesus moves from the private eye into the public sphere. Lazarus and his two sisters remain in the narrative as well. One major theme that can be noted in this particular Chapter is the hostility that those who are associated with Jesus face simply for having experienced the benefits of his way. Lazarus is threatened. The Greeks are threatened. John’s rendition of the classic “triumphal entry” narrative is full of sorry‚ in that regard
