This emphasizes the importance of sharing testimonies of God's work in our lives. Faith in Action The response of belief from the Jews shows that faith often requires a response to what we see and experience. We are called to act on our faith. The Role of Community in Faith The presence of the Jews who came to comfort Mary highlights the importance of community in times of trial and how it can lead to spiritual growth and belief. The Impact of Jesus' Miracles Jesus' miracles were not just acts of compassion but were also signs pointing to His divine authority and identity, prompting belief in Him. The Ripple Effect of Faith The belief of many Jews after witnessing the miracle shows how one act of God can have a far-reaching impact, influencing many lives.(45) Then many of the Jews which came to-Mary, and had seen . . .--Better, Many therefore of the Jews, which had come to Mary and seen . . . The comma should be placed after the word Jews. The Greek cannot mean, "Then many of the Jews, i.e., of those which came to Mary." It must mean, "Many therefore of the Jews, i.e., all those which had come to Mary." The miracle is so utterly beyond all their conceptions that it carries conviction to every heart, and leaves no further possibility of doubt. They are called those "which had come to Mary," because they had remained with her after Martha had gone to meet our Lord, and had followed her when she herself went.Verses 45-57. - (4) The effect of the miracle (sign) upon the multitude and on the authorities. Their final resolve, and its bearing upon the great sacrifice of Calvary. Verses 45, 46. - Many therefore of the Jews which came to Mary, and beheld that which he did, believed on him; but certain of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done. Πρὸς τὴν, Μαρίαν. Here Mary is named alone, as the sister who was most deeply afflicted by the death of Lazarus, and most in need of friendly consolation (cf. also John 5:1). This clause may be read so as to include those who went to communicate the startling intelligence to the Pharisees among the πολλοὶ of the Jews who went to comfort Mary and who "believed;" on the ground that οἱ ἐλθόντες is in apposition with πολλοὶ, not (according to the text of D, τῶν ἐλθόντων) with Ἰουδαίων. This, however, would imply that all of them believed, and that the τινὲς went to the Pharisees with no hostile intent (Meyer); but why should not ἐξ αὐτῶν refer to the Ἰουδαίων, implying another set not of the friends of Mary (Godet)? The remark would then be in harmony with the fact to which the evangelist continually calls attention, that Christ's miracles and words produced a twofold effect, and made a frequent division among the Jews, thus bringing to light who were and who were not his true disciples. The same facts excited faith in some and roused animosity in others. The great sign has been dividing men into hostile camps ever since.
