Exegesis

The paired source markers apo Bethanias {ἀπὸ Βηθανίας | apó Bēthanías} and ek tes komes {ἐκ τῆς κώμης | ek tēs kṓmēs} layer the place reference from broader location to specific village, and the genitive chain Marias kai Marthas tes adelphes autes {Μαρίας καὶ Μάρθας τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτῆς | Marías kaí Márthas tēs adelphēs autēs} compresses the family relation so that Martha is identified as Mary’s sister. English smooths this stacked identification with commas and a semicolon, but the Greek keeps each detail in a compact sequence that moves from condition to identity to origin to household relation.

Root and etymology
