John 12:2

2 fecerunt autem ei cenam ibi et Martha ministrabat Lazarus vero unus erat ex discumbentibus cum eo

John 12:2 Meaning and Commentary

John 12:2

There they made him a supper
At Bethany, in the house of Lazarus, Martha, and Mary; by whose order, and at whose charge it was prepared for him; and not in the house of Simon the leper, which was four days after this, ( Matthew 26:2 Matthew 26:6 ) .

And Martha served;
who was always a busy, active, and stirring woman; and this she did, to testify her love to Christ, and great respect for him; otherwise, as she was a person of substance, she had servants enough to wait at table:

but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him;
and ate, and drank, and conversed; by which it appeared, that he was really risen from the dead, and was in a good state of health.

John 12:2 In-Context

1 Iesus ergo ante sex dies paschae venit Bethaniam ubi fuerat Lazarus mortuus quem suscitavit Iesus

2 fecerunt autem ei cenam ibi et Martha ministrabat Lazarus vero unus erat ex discumbentibus cum eo

3 Maria ergo accepit libram unguenti nardi pistici pretiosi unxit pedes Iesu et extersit capillis suis pedes eius et domus impleta est ex odore unguenti

4 dicit ergo unus ex discipulis eius Iudas Scariotis qui erat eum traditurus

5 quare hoc unguentum non veniit trecentis denariis et datum est egenis
