Contextual Overview

17 When Jesus was arriv'd, he found that Lazarus had been then four days in the grave. 18 now Bethany being distant from Jerusalem but about fifteen furlongs, 19 many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to condole with them upon the loss of their brother. 20 Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him: but Mary stay'd at home. 21 Lord, said Martha to Jesus, if you had been here, my brother had not been dead. 22 but yet even now whatever you shall ask of God, I know God will grant it to you. 23 Jesus said to her, your brother shall rise again. 24 Martha said to him, I know that he shall rise again at the resurrection of the last day. 25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me shall live even though he were dead: 26 and no man living that believeth in me, shall ever die.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now Jesus was not yet come into the town,.... Of Bethany, but stayed without, being nearer to Lazarus's 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; :-,

:-.

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", c. 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

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. Luke 7:12; Luke 7:12.
