Exegesis
The verse begins with the aorist verb epoiēsan {ἐποίησαν | e-po-í-e-san} ‘they made’, followed by the inferential particle oun {οὖν | oun} ‘therefore/so’, linking this meal to the preceding narrative about Lazarus.
In context — John 12:2
So they prepared a supper for Him there; and Martha was serving, but Lazarus was one of those reclining with Him at the table.
