Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 12:17

"The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness." — John 12:17 (ASV)

The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

They could not help testifying in his favor after they had seen him work such a notable miracle as the raising of Lazarus from the dead.
