We know he raised Lazarus when no one was looking. What other things could he have done without the doubt of others to impede miracles.

Honestly, I always imagined Jesus not being bugged by the smell and going into the cave.

Yeah, you got the Lazarus story wrong...but, basically, you do have the right idea. Our lack of faith does hinder God from working in our lives.
I think of the father with his little boy, in the grip of epilepsy. He so wanted Jesus to heal his son, but, like most of us, he had some doubts.
I love his answer to Jesus...
Mar 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Mar 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
I can definitely relate to this guy, as I'm sure many other folks, if they would admit it, can also.
How many times I have cried out, and said with tears,
"Lord, I believe! Please, please, help my unbelief!"
The amazing thing about it is...when I admit my weakness to Him, He gives me His strength.

Why are you spreading lies ? There were many people looking , when He raised Lazarus. Jesus was the only man on earth that ever lived without sin, He would do the same , when He is alone than He would do when people are watching =The will of His Father .

No one was looking when he raised Lazarus?
"Jesus then went to the tomb of Lazarus with Mary, Martha and the rest of the mourners. There he asked them to remove the stone that covered the hillside burial place. Jesus looked up to heaven and prayed to his Father, closing with these words: "Lazarus, come out!" When Lazarus came out of the tomb, Jesus told the people to remove his grave clothes.
As a result of this incredible miracle, many people put their faith in Jesus."
Where do you guys get this stuff?

It is called integrity. Doing and acting the same way in private as you do in public.
Oddly, Jesus did not have to use much faith. Faith is "the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld." (Heb. 11:1) Jesus had beheld and knew what was going on. He had been here from the beginning. (Col. 1:15; John 8:58) So he saw all these things we only hear of. The only thing he did not see as an eyewitness was his resurrection promise on the third day. Though he was present for his own resurrection to spirit. (LOL Like not being late for your own funeral.)

Faith did not hinder Jesus in the slightest! There were times he needed to take a break. It says so. And Jesus had no doubts. You may doubt; but Jesus didn't. And neither have I.
