John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:29

As soon as she heard that ,.... That Christ was come, and inquired for her, and wanted to see her: she arose quickly, and came unto him ; having an equal affection for him as her sister Martha; and which she showed, by leaving her comforters at once, and by making the haste she did, to another and better comforter: both Martha and Mary, out of their great love to Christ, break through the rule for mourners mentioned in note, See Gill on John 11:19 , of not going out of the door of the... read more

Now Jesus was not yet come into the town ,.... Of Bethany, but stayed without, being nearer to Lazarus's grave, which he intended to go to, in order to raise him to life, it being usual to bury the without the towns and cities; See Gill on Matthew 8:28 , See Gill on Luke 7:12 . but was in that place where Martha met him ; here he stopped, and here he continued: the Persic version reads, "but was sitting in the same place", &c.; waiting for the coming of Mary along with Martha;... read more

The Jews then which were with her in the house ,.... Who came from Jerusalem to visit this afflicted family, and continued in the house with them and comforted her ; which was the end of their coming, John 11:19 . This they endeavoured to do, though they did not succeed: when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, followed her ; they did not know what Martha whispered to her, but observed that she rose off her seat in great haste, and went out of the house at once;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:32

Then when Mary was come where Jesus was ,.... Where Martha met him, and where she left him. Travellers tell us, that close by a well, about a stone's cast out of the town of Bethany, is showed the place where Martha met our Lord when he came to raise Lazarus, and where Mary, being called also, met him; but this is not to be depended on, nor is it of any moment to know it. It is blessed meeting Christ any where; and where he is preached, and his ordinances administered, let it be in what... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:33

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping ,.... At his feet, who, for sorrow and grief of heart, could say no more to him; but having expressed these words, burst out into floods of tears: and the Jews also weeping, which came with her ; either through sympathy with her, or hypocritically: he groaned in the spirit ; in his human soul; and which shows, that he had a real human soul, subject to passions, though sinless ones. The word signifies an inward motion of the mind, through... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:34

And said, where have ye laid him ?.... This he might say as man, though he, as the omniscient God, knew where he was laid; and that it might appear there was no juggle and contrivance between him, and the relations of the deceased; and to raise some expectation of what he intended to do; and to draw the Jews thither, that they might be witnesses of the miracle he was about to work. They say unto him ; That is, Martha and Mary, Lord, come and see ; it being but a little way off. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:35

Jesus wept. As he was going along to the grave, see John 11:28 ; as he was meditating upon the state of his friend Lazarus, the distress his two sisters were in, and the greater damnation that would befall the Jews then present, who, notwithstanding the miracle, would not believe in him. This shows him to be truly and really man, subject to like passions, only without sin. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 11:17

He had lain in the grave four days already - Our Lord probably left Bethabara the day, or the day after, Lazarus died. He came to Bethany three days after; and it appears that Lazarus had been buried about four days, and consequently that he had been put in the grave the day or day after he died. Though it was the Jewish custom to embalm their dead, yet we find, from John 11:39 , that he had not been embalmed; and God wisely ordered this, that the miracle might appear the more striking. read more

Fifteen furlongs - About two miles: for the Jewish miles contained about seven furlongs and a half. So Lightfoot, and the margin. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 11:19

Many of the Jews came - Bethany being so nigh to Jerusalem, many of the relatives and friends of the family came, according to the Jewish custom, to mourn with the afflicted sisters. Mourning, among the Jews, lasted about thirty days: the three first days were termed days of weeping: then followed seven of lamentation. During the three days, the mourner did no servile work; and, if any one saluted him, he did not return the salutation. During the seven days, he did no servile work, except in... read more
