Exegesis
The explicit subject hai adelphai {αἱ ἀδελφαὶ | hai a-del-phaí} ‘the sisters’ places the family members at the center of the response, and pros auton {πρὸς αὐτὸν | prós autón} ‘to Him’ directs the action toward Jesus as the one approached.
In context — John 11:3
Therefore the sisters sent an appeal to Him, saying, “Lord , look, the one whom You love is ill.”
