Church Fathers on John 11:29

Christ’s words had the effect of stopping Martha’s grief. In her devotion to her Master she had no time to think of her afflictions: And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly.

Chrysostom · 4th century

Silently, i.e. speaking in a low voice. For she did speak, saying, the Master is come, and calls for you.

Augustine · 4th century

Perhaps she thought the presence of Christ in itself a call, as if it were inexcusable, when Christ came, that she should not go out to meet Him.
