When the Jews The term "Jews" in the Gospel of John often refers to the Jewish people who were present in the narrative, sometimes specifically the religious leaders. In this context, it refers to the friends and community members who had come to mourn with Mary. Historically, Jewish mourning customs were deeply communal, emphasizing the importance of supporting those who grieve. This reflects the cultural and religious practices of first-century Judea, where mourning was a shared experience. who were with Mary in the house consoling her saw how quickly she got up and went out they followed her supposing she was going to the tomb to weep there Saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.--The better reading is, thinking, She goeth . . . The practice was and is common among the Orientals, as well as among other nations. Their following her, defeats the object Martha had in view in calling her secretly. We may say, also, that it defeated our Lord's object in remaining outside the village; but this is not inconsistent with His knowing that it would be so. Verse 31. - The Jews therefore who were with her in the house, and were comforting her. If the "Jews" (see note, ver. 19) were comforting Mary, and (ver. 37) recognized his love in its Divine depths, and if (see ver. 45) (πολλοὶ) "many believed on him," and only (τινές) some of them (ver. 46) made the stupendous miracle a new occasion for expressing their inveterate malignity, there is no reason to import the element of hostility into the word ἰδόντες. When they observed Mary, that she suddenly rose and (silently) went out (of the house), followed her, supposing that she goeth to the grave to wail there. This custom was followed widely in the East, and is still observed in Roman Catholic communities. The word κλαίω is to be carefully distinguished from δακρύω of ver. 35; it denotes the loud expressive wailing and manifestation of grief of which so many instances occur (Matthew 2:18; Mark 5:38; Luke 7:13; Luke 8:52; Acts 9:39), while the latter word means the shedding of tears. "Wailing" is often the regulated expression of professional grief; "weeping" the irresistible burst of personal sorrow. The first may be violent and obtrusive, the other silent and pathetic.Parallel Commentaries ... Greek [When]οὖν (oun) Conjunction Strong's 3767: Therefore, then.
