Church Fathers on John 11:32
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.
Silently, i.e. speaking in a low voice. For she did speak, saying, the Master is come, and calls for you.
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.
