Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 12:1-8.


John 12:2

_ _ Martha served — This, with what is afterwards said of Mary’s way of honoring her Lord, is so true to the character in which those two women appear in Luke 10:38-42, as to constitute one of the strongest and most delightful confirmations of the truth of both narratives. (See also on John 11:20).

_ _ Lazarus ... sat at the table — “Between the raised Lazarus and the healed leper (Simon, Mark 14:3), the Lord probably sits as between two trophies of His glory” [Stier].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 12:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 12:2

It seems Martha was a person of some figure, from the great respect which was paid to her and her sister, in visits and condolences on Lazarus's death, as well as from the costly ointment mentioned in the next verse. And probably it was at their house our Lord and his disciples lodged, when he returned from Jerusalem to Bethany, every evening of the last week of his life, upon which he was now entered.
