John 11:30-32

Mary’s physical response to Jesus was more emotional than Martha’s had been, perhaps reflecting her temperament. Again we find Mary at Jesus’ feet (cf. Luke 10:39). Her words were identical to Martha’s (John 11:21). She met Jesus in a public place whereas Martha had talked with Him privately. This probably accounts in part for Jesus’ different responses to the two women.

"Mary is found three times in the Gospel record, and each time she is at the feet of Jesus (Luke 10:39; John 11:32; John 12:3). She sat at His feet and listened to His word; she fell at His feet and poured out her sorrow; and she came to His feet to given Him her praise and worship. Mary’s only recorded words in the Gospels are given in John 11:32, and they echo what Martha had already said (John 11:21)." [Note: Ibid.]
