Greetings God's Child!
You asked, "did Jesus take his time getting to lazarus so he could teach his disciples and mary and martha something?"
When Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, He said (John 11:4), "But when Jesus heard this, He said, "This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it." Even though Lazarus does indeed die (verse 14), He views Lazarus' death as temporary, calling it 'sleep' (verse 11), because He already knows what He will do: "Your brother will rise again" (verse 23). One thing to keep in mind is that Jesus was always focused on His mission (7:6,8,30; 8:20) instead of what people were asking of Him (here: Mary and Martha; in 2:3-4 Mary). So, He is teaching Mary and Martha and the disciples to have a deeper belief in Him (see verses 25-27 and 40-42, 45).
Blessings to you,
Makarios
