To her house, to comfort her, and that came along with her to the grave:

and had seen the things which Jesus did;
in raising the dead body of Lazarus, and causing him to walk, though bound in grave clothes:

believed on him;
that he was the true Messiah: such an effect the miracle had on them; so that it was a happy day for them, that they came from Jerusalem to Bethany to pay this visit.

43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
44 The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."
