Commentary on John 11:32

Theological / Devotional

Fell down. She was more demonstrative than her sister (cf. vs. 20, 21).

Hadst been here. Precisely what Martha had said (see on v. 21). But apparently no conversation took place as in the case of Martha. Mary lay prostrate at the feet of Jesus, weeping. Perhaps her emotion was too great for words.
