John 11:1 - There was a sick man, Lazarus, from the village of Bethany, brother of Mary and Martha.
from the village of Bethany ... - this is the reading of the Aramean Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: "from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha." The Greek text is a bit strange because when we know that Lazarus was from Bethany, then of course his sisters were also from there and need not be said extra by the addition: 'the village of Mary and her sister Martha'. See also the note at Mt. 21:17.
Diatessaron 37:46
And there was a sick man, named Lazarus, of the village of Bethany, the brother of Mary and Martha.
John 11:1
(Etheridge) BUT a certain man was sick, Loozar, of the village Bethania: (he was) the brother of Mariam and of Martha.
(Murdock) And a certain man was sick, Lazarus of the town of Bethany, the brother of Mary and Martha.
(KJV) Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
===================================
Do you think John 11:2 originally had:
"Jesus"?
"the Lord"?
(if "Jesus," do you consider "the Lord" a theological embellishment in Greek mss.?)
Both the Peshitta and the by-A.D. 175 Diatessaron have "Jesus."
John 11:2 - It was this Mary who anointed the feet of Jesus with oil and dried them with her hair, and her brother Lazarus was sick.
Jesus - this is the reading of the Aramean Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: 'the Lord'.
Diatessaron 37:47
And Mary was she that anointed with sweet ointment the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair; and Lazarus, who was sick, was the brother of this woman.
===================================
Do you think John 11:3 originally had:
"Our Lord"?
"the Lord"?
Both the Peshitta and the by-A.D. 175 Diatessaron have "Our Lord."
John 11:3 - Both of his sisters sent (someone) to Jesus and (made him) say, "Our Lord, behold, he who loves You is sick."
[(‹Lites›)] say - literally it says, "they said."
Our Lord - this is the reading of the Aramean Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: 'the Lord'.
Diatessaron 37:48
And his sisters sent unto Jesus, and said unto him, Our Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
===================================
Do you think John 11:4 originally had:
"But Jesus said"?
"When Jesus heard this, He said"?
Both the Peshitta and the by-A.D. 175 Diatessaron have "But Jesus said."
John 11:4 - But Jesus said, "This sickness is not of mortal (kind), but to the glory of GOD, that it may glorify the Son of GOD."
But Jesus said - this is the reading of the Aramean Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: "When Jesus heard this, He said."
Diatessaron 37:49
But Jesus said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glorifying of God, that the Son of God may be glorified because of it.

Do you think John 11:5 originally had:
"Martha and Mary and Lazarus"?
"Martha and her sister and Lazarus"?
Both the Peshitta and the by-A.D. 175 Diatessaron have "Martha and Mary and Lazarus."
John 11:5 - Jesus loved Martha, Mary and Lazarus.
Mary - this is the reading of the Aramean Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: 'and her sister'.
Diatessaron 37:50

===================================
Do you think John 11:7 originally had:
"his disciples"? "the disciples"
"Come"?
Both the Peshitta and the by-A.D. 175 Diatessaron have "his disciples" and "Come."
John 11:7 - Then He said to His disciples, "Come, let's go back to Judea!"
his disciples - this is the reading of the Aramean Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR reads: 'the disciples'.
Come - this is the reading of the Aramean Peshitta. This word is missing in the reading of the Greek NA28, MHT and TR.
Diatessaron 37:52
And after that, he said unto his disciples, Come, let us go into Judaea.
