Who Took Away the Stone?

“Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid.” (John 11:41)

Who are the ones identified only as, “They,” who took away the stone from Lazarus’ tomb?

There are many unnamed people in the Bible who have done much good, such as the man who loaned the donkey on which Jesus rode into Jerusalem. Then there was the unnamed man who owned the “upper room” where Jesus ate the Passover meal with the twelve.

“They” are in the same category with the “others” whose names we do not know among the well known heroes of faith in Hebrews chapter eleven. They are not secret disciples. They just do the Lord’s work behind the scenes. All churches have some of those. Perhaps you are one those described in Hebrews 11:35-38.
