Juan 11:28

28 Y esto dicho, fuése, y llamó en secreto á María su hermana, diciendo: El Maestro está aquí y te llama.

Juan 11:28 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:28

And when she had so said
Had expressed her faith in Christ in such terms, as the apostles themselves did, ( Matthew 16:16 ) ( John 1:49 ) ( 6:69 ) .

She went her way;
from Christ, being ordered by him to go to her sister Mary, and fetch her to him:

and called Mary her sister secretly;
either beckoned her to come to her, or whispered her in the ear privately, as Nonnus paraphrases it, that the Jews, who were enemies to Christ, might not hear:

saying, the master is come;
near the town; is not a great way off: she might use the phrase, "the master", for greater privacy, that should she be overheard, it would not be who she meant; and because it was an usual appellation by which Christ was called in that family, and by which he was well known; and was expressive of honour to him, and subjection in them as his disciples:

and calleth for thee;
to come to him; Christ asked after her, desired to see her, and ordered her to come to him; which was an instance of his respect for her.

Juan 11:28 In-Context

26 Y todo aquel que vive y cree en mí, no morirá eternamente. ¿Crees esto?

27 Dícele: Sí Señor; yo he creído que tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios, que has venido al mundo.

28 Y esto dicho, fuése, y llamó en secreto á María su hermana, diciendo: El Maestro está aquí y te llama.

29 Ella, como lo oyó, levántase prestamente y viene á él.

30 (Que aun no había llegado Jesús á la aldea, mas estaba en aquel lugar donde Marta le había encontrado.)
