Context of John 11:29

27She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world. 28And having said this, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls thee. She, when she heard [that], rises up quickly and comes to him. 30Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha came to meet him. 31The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb, that she may weep there.
