John 11:29 Meaning and 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 house the first week of mourning.

John 11:29 In-Context

27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world."

28 After saying this, she went off and secretly called Miryam, her sister: "The Rabbi is here and is calling for you."

29 When she heard this, she jumped up and went to him.

30 Yeshua had not yet come into the village but was still where Marta had met him;

31 so when the Judeans who had been with Miryam in the house comforting her saw her get up quickly and go out, they followed her, thinking she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
