John 11:20
Douay-Rheims
Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.
John Chrysostom
(Hom. lxii. 2.) Martha does not take her sister with her, because she wants to speak with Christ alone, and tell Him what has happened. When her hopes had been raised by Him, then she went her way, and called Mary.
