After Jesus had said this
This phrase sets the stage for the miraculous event that is about to unfold. The context here is crucial; Jesus has just prayed to the Father, expressing gratitude for being heard. This demonstrates His intimate relationship with God and His confidence in the divine plan. The Greek word for "said" (εἶπεν, eipen) implies a declaration with authority. Jesus' words are not mere suggestions but carry the weight of divine command, underscoring His role as the Son of God.

He called out
The Greek verb used here is "φωνέω" (phoneo), which means to call or to summon. This is not a casual call but a powerful, authoritative command. In the cultural and historical context, a loud call was often used to gather attention or to make an important announcement. Jesus' call to Lazarus is a public demonstration of His authority over life and death, intended to reveal His divine power to the onlookers.

in a loud voice
The phrase "loud voice" (μεγάλῃ φωνῇ, megale phone) emphasizes the intensity and authority of Jesus' command. This is reminiscent of the voice of God in the Old Testament, which often came with power and authority. The loudness signifies the importance of the moment and ensures that all present would witness the miracle, leaving no doubt about the source of Lazarus's resurrection.

Lazarus
The name Lazarus is derived from the Hebrew name Eleazar, meaning "God has helped." This is profoundly fitting, as Lazarus's resurrection is a direct act of divine intervention. The use of his name personalizes the miracle, showing Jesus' deep love and compassion for His friend. It also serves as a reminder that God knows each of us by name and is intimately involved in our lives.

come out
The command "come out" (δεῦρο ἔξω, deuro exo) is both simple and profound. It is a direct order that defies the natural order of death. Theologically, this command signifies Jesus' power over death, prefiguring His own resurrection. In a broader scriptural context, it symbolizes the call to all believers to come out of spiritual death into the life offered through Christ. This moment is a powerful testament to the hope and new life that Jesus offers to all who believe in Him.

(43) He cried with a loud voice.--Comp. John 5:25; John 5:28, and Notes there. These verses lead to the opinion that it was at the moment of the cry, and not before, as some have thought, that life returned. This is the only passage where the word rendered "cried" is used of our Lord. (Comp. Matthew 12:19.) It occurs again in this Gospel in John 12:13; John 18:40; John 19:6; John 19:12; John 19:15. . . . Verse 43. - And when he had thus spoken, he cried with loud voice. Ἐκραύγασε is used of the shout of a multitude (John 12:13, R.T.; John 18:40; 19:6, 15), and implies the loud, imperative command to Death to give up his prey, and relinquish the grasp which had, in answer to his prayer, been already relaxed. The loud voice keeps up the image that death is a deep sleep. The critical moment in Christ's own career has arrived, when, having pledged the rather to this manifestation of his own glory, he was prepared to take this final step, however perilous to himself; one which would finally demonstrate whether he was sent from God, or was merely boasting a power he did not possess (cf. Elijah and the priests of Baal, 1 Kings 18.). Observe the loud voice, Lazarus, come forth! or, (Hither, out!); or, Veni foras! (Origen, Chrysostom, Lampe, suggest that the awakening from death had already taken place. Meyer and Alford condemn this. It seems to me that this supposition. somewhat modified as above, throws light upon vers. 41, 42.) The words themselves are applicable to a grave from which the stone door had been removed. Weiss has made some admirable remarks on the use made by the Tübingen critics of this admission. In many cases in which such miracles took place the soul had obviously not left the body, but yet the entire surroundings here imply that, apart from miraculous energy, resuscitation was absolutely un-looked for. Even Strauss refuses utterly the trance hypothesis, and Renan has renounced the farcical drama that he thought at one time might account for the event and its record.
