This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 11:28. Ταῦτα εἰποῦσα, having said these things) Faith, and her confession of His Messiahship, lent her alacrity.-λάθρα) Without the knowledge of the Jews, as Joh 11:31 proves.[300]-Ὁ ΔΙΔΆΣΚΑΛΟς, the Master) So they were wont to call Jesus, when speaking of Him among one another.-φωνεῖ σε, calls thee) Either Jesus expressly ordered Mary to be called: or else Martha, by His permission, called Mary; and in this case spake so, in order the more speedily to rouse up Mary. Mary’s sedate disposition was no hindrance in her way; yet she was called, in order that she might be present at the miracle.
[300] The Jews therefore mistook the motive of Mary’s going out: “She goeth unto the grave to weep there.”-E. and T.
