The Jews then who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going unto the tomb to weep there.Young's Literal Translation

Clarke's Commentary on the BibleShe goeth unto the grave to weep there - It appears that it was the custom for the nearest relatives of the deceased to go at times, during the three days of weeping, accompanied by their friends and neighbors, to mourn near the graves of the deceased. They supposed that the spirit hovered about the place where the body was laid for three days, to see whether it might be again permitted to enter, but, when it saw the face change, it knew that all hope was now past. It was on this ground that the seven days of lamentation succeeded the three days of weeping, because all hope was now taken away. They had traditions that, in the course of three days, persons who had died were raised again to life. See Lightfoot. Mr. Ward says: "I once saw some Mussulman women, near Calcutta, lying on the new-made grave of a relation, weeping bitterly. In this manner the Mussulman females weep and strew flowers over the graves of relations, at the expiration of four days, and forty days, after the interment." Treasury of Scripture Knowledge Jews. John 11:19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. She goeth. Genesis 37:35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said... 2 Samuel 12:16-18 David therefore sought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth... 1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
