📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of John 11, Jesus' dear friend Lazarus has died, and his sisters Martha and Mary are grieving in their home in Bethany, a village near Jerusalem. When Martha hears that Jesus is approaching, she immediately goes out to meet him, reflecting the cultural expectation in that era for hosts to greet visitors promptly and her own proactive faith amid sorrow. In contrast, Mary stays in the house, possibly due to her deeper immersion in grief or a more passive approach to waiting for Jesus.
