ἐγὼ πεπίστευκα, I have come to believe, I have reached the belief.—Ver. 28. καὶ ταῦτα εἰποῦσα ἀπῆλθε, “and when she had said this,’ and when some further conversation had taken place (cf. dwvet σε), “she went and called Mary her sister, secretly saying to her: The Teacher is here and asks for you”’. The secrecy was due not so much to the presence of Jesus’ enemies as to Martha’s desire that Mary should meet Jesus alone, unaccompanied even by friends. For the same purpose Jesus remained in the place where He had met Martha.—Ver. 29. On the delivery of His message Mary springs up from her attitude of broken-hearted grief and comes to meet Him.—Ver. 31. But she was not allowed to go alone: ot otv . . . éxet. The Jews who were with her in the house comforting her interpreted her sudden movement as one of those urgent demands of grief which already, no doubt, they had seen her yield to, and in sincere sympathy (ver. 33) followed her. —Ver. 32. Consequently when she reaches Jesus she has only time to fall at His feet and exclaim, in Martha’s words, Κύριε . . . ἀδελφός. The sight of Jesus, ἰδοῦσα αὐτόν, produced a more vehement demonstration of grief than in Martha. Cf. Cicero, in Verrem, v. 39. ‘Mihi obviam venit et... mihi ad pedes misera jacuit, quasi ego excitare filium ejus ab inferis possem.”’ Wetstein. —Ver. 33. Ἰησοῦς οὖν ... αὐτόν. “« Jesus, then, when He saw her weeping [κλαίειν is stronger than Saxpvew and might be rendered ‘wailing’. It is
joined with ἀλαλάζειν, Mk. v. 38; ὀλολύζειν, Jas. v. 1; θορυβεῖν, Mk. ν. 39; πενθεῖν, Mk. xvi. το. Cf. Webster’s Synonyms} and the Jews who accom- panied her wailing,” ἐνεβριμήσατο τῷ πνεύµατι, “was indignant in spirit’. The word ἐμβριμᾶσθαι occurs again in ver. 38 and in three other passages of the N.T., Mt. ix. 30, Mk. i. 43, and xiv. 5. In those passages it is used in its original sense of the expression of feeling, and might be rendered ‘“ sternly charged”’ ; and it is in each case followed by an object in the dative. In Mt. ix. 30 Jesus sternly charged or with strong feeling charged the healed blind man not to make Him known. In Mk. i. 43 the leper is similarly charged. In Mk. xiv. 5 the bystanders express strong feeling [of indignation, &yavaxrotvres] against Mary for her apparent extravagance. In all three passages it is used of the ex- pression of strong feeling; but no in- dignation enters into its meaning in the former two passages. Here in John it is not feeling expressed, but τῷ πνεύματι, inwardly felt; and with only such ex- pression as betrayed to observers that He was moved (cf. Mk. viii. 12, ἀναστενάξας τῷ mvevpart), for τῷ πνεύµατι cannot be the object, for this does not give a good sense and it is contradicted by πάλιν ἐμβριμ. ἐν ἑαντῷ of ver. 38. It would seem, then, to mean ‘ strongly moved in spirit’. This meaning quite agrees with the accompanying clause, καὶ ἐταραξεν ἑαυτόν, ‘and disturbed Himself’; precisely as we speak of a man “ distressing himself,”’ or ‘‘ troubling
