John was out there telling everyone about Jesus, literally shouting it: 'This is the guy I was talking about! He's coming after me, but he's way more important than me — because he was around way before I was even born.'

So all the people who were there when Jesus called Lazarus out of his tomb and brought him back to life? They couldn't stop talking about what they saw.

The crowd was absolutely amazed when they watched it all happen — people who couldn't speak were suddenly talking, those with missing limbs were completely healed, people who couldn't walk were up and moving, and the blind could see everything. They couldn't help but praise the God of Israel for what they witnessed.
