SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:2
Y le hicieron allí una cena y Marta servía, y Lzaro era uno de los que estaban sentados a la mesa juntamente con l.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. There they made him a supper , etc.] 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 26:2,6). 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Christ had formerly blamed Martha for being troubled with much serving But she did not leave off serving, as some, who when found fault with for going too far in one way, peevishly run too far another way; sh still served, but within hearing of Christ's gracious words. Mary gav a token of love to Christ, who had given real tokens of his love to he and her family. God's Anointed should be our Anointed. Has God poure on him the oil of gladness above his fellows, let us pour on him the ointment of our best affections. In Judas a foul sin is gilded ove with a plausible pretence. We must not think that those do n acceptable service, who do it not in our way. The reigning love of money is heart-theft. The grace of Christ puts kind comments on piou words and actions, makes the best of what is amiss, and the most of what is good. Opportunities are to be improved; and those first an most vigorously, which are likely to be the shortest. To consult to hinder the further effect of the miracle, by putting Lazarus to death is such wickedness, malice, and folly, as cannot be explained, excep by the desperate enmity of the human heart against God. They resolve that the man should die whom the Lord had raised to life. The succes of the gospel often makes wicked men so angry, that they speak and ac as if they hoped to obtain a victory over the Almighty himself.
