Yochanan 11:30 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:30

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" waiting for the coming of Mary along with Martha; judging this to be a more suitable place to converse together in, than their own house, which was thronged with Jews; and especially he chose it for the reason above given.

Yochanan 11:30 In-Context

28 And having said this, she withdrew and summoned Miryam her achot, telling her privately, Rabbeinu and Moreinu is here, and summons you.

29 And that isha, when she heard, got up quickly and was coming to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

30 Now he had not yet come into the shtetl, but was still in the place where Marta met him.

31 Therefore, those of Yehudah, the ones sitting shiva with her in the bais and giving her nechamah, when they saw Miryam get up quickly and rush out, followed her, assuming that she is going to the kever (tomb) that she might weep there.

32 Therefore, Miryam, when she came where Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was, and when she saw him, fell down at his feet, saying to Rebbe, Adoni, if you were here, achi (my brother) would not have died.
