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:

46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them [the things] which Jesus had done.

47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin and said, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs!
