John 11:29

29 illa ut audivit surgit cito et venit ad eum

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 ait illi utique Domine ego credidi quia tu es Christus Filius Dei qui in mundum venisti

28 et cum haec dixisset abiit et vocavit Mariam sororem suam silentio dicens magister adest et vocat te

29 illa ut audivit surgit cito et venit ad eum

30 nondum enim venerat Iesus in castellum sed erat adhuc in illo loco ubi occurrerat ei Martha

31 Iudaei igitur qui erant cum ea in domo et consolabantur eam cum vidissent Mariam quia cito surrexit et exiit secuti sunt eam dicentes quia vadit ad monumentum ut ploret ibi
