SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:30
(Que an no había llegado Jess a la aldea, mas estaba en aquel lugar donde Marta le había salido a recibir.)
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 11:30
Verse 30. Jesus was not yet come into the town] As the Jewish burying places were without their cities and villages, it appears that the place where our saviour was, when Martha met him, was not far from the place where Lazarus was buried. See the note on Luke vii. 12.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. Now Jesus was not yet come into the town , etc.] Of Bethany, but stayed without, being nearer to Lazaruss 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, etc. 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-32 - Here was a house where the fear of God was, and on which his blessin rested; yet it was made a house of mourning. Grace will keep sorro from the heart, but not from the house. When God, by his grace an providence, is coming towards us in ways of mercy and comfort, we should, like Martha, go forth by faith, hope, and prayer, to meet him When Martha went to meet Jesus, Mary sat still in the house; thi temper formerly had been an advantage to her, when it put her a Christ's feet to hear his word; but in the day of affliction, the sam temper disposed her to melancholy. It is our wisdom to watch agains the temptations, and to make use of the advantages of our natura tempers. When we know not what in particular to ask or expect, let u refer ourselves to God; let him do as seemeth him good. To enlarg Martha's expectations, our Lord declared himself to be the Resurrectio and the Life. In every sense he is the Resurrection; the source, the substance, the first-fruits, the cause of it. The redeemed soul live after death in happiness; and after the resurrection, both body an soul are kept from all evil for ever. When we have read or heard the word of Christ, about the great things of the other world, we shoul put it to ourselves, Do we believe this truth? The crosses and comfort of this present time would not make such a deep impression upon us a they do, if we believed the things of eternity as we ought. When Chris our Master comes, he calls for us. He comes in his word and ordinances and calls us to them, calls us by them, calls us to himself. Those who in a day of peace, set themselves at Christ's feet to be taught by him may with comfort, in a day of trouble, cast themselves at his feet, to find favour with him.
