John 11:43
This passage refers to the moment when Jesus calls Lazarus out of the tomb, a miraculous act that demonstrates His power over life and death. The raising of Lazarus is one of the most significant miracles in the New Testament, showing Jesus as the source of life and the resurrection.
Biblical Passage: John 11:43 (KJV)
"And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth."
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
In Dalí’s interpretation, the moment of Lazarus’s resurrection would be depicted as a surreal and divine event, filled with abstract light, distorted forms, and cosmic symbolism. Dalí would emphasize the power of Jesus’ words through waves of light, while Lazarus would emerge from the tomb in an ethereal, shifting form. The contrast between light and darkness would symbolize the victory of life over death. The surrounding figures and the environment might dissolve or blend into the scene to express the mystical and transformative nature of the miracle. Ultimately, Dalí would focus on the eternal nature of life and the divine authority of Jesus, capturing the miraculous moment when Lazarus is called back from the dead and brought into the light of life.
