This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Now Jesus was not yet come into the town (oupō de elēluthei ho Iēsous eis tēn kōmēn). Explanatory parenthesis with past perfect as in Joh 11:19. Martha had her interview while he was still coming (Joh 11:20) and left him (went off, apēlthen, Joh 11:28) to hurry to Mary with the news. Why Jesus tarried still where he had met Martha we do not know. Westcott says, “as though He would meet the sisters away from the crowd of mourners.”
