Commentary on John 11:20

Theological / Devotional

Then Martha. Martha reflects the same character traits noted concerning her in Luke 10:38. She is impulsive, energetic, and given to practical duty. Mary, on the other hand, who was contemplative, pensive, but with a great store of love, “sat still in the house.” Jesus was outside the village when Martha met Him (see John 11:30).
