John 11:30 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. Jesus was not yet come into the town - As the Jewish burying places were without their cities and villages, it appears that the place where our Savior was, when Martha met him, was not far from the place where Lazarus was buried. See the note on Luke 7:12.
