30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but1 was in the place where Martha met Him.
31aThen the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her,1 saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she afell down at His feet, saying to Him, b“Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
34 And He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
Fell down at his feet (epesen autou prov touv podav). Second aorist active of piptw, to fall. Note unusual position of autou. This impulsive act like Mary. She said precisely what Martha had said to Jesus (verse John 11:21). But she said no more, only wept (verse John 11:33).
