Greet--or "salute"
Mary, who bestowed much labour on us--labor, no doubt, of a womanly kind. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Who bestowed much labour on us - Who labored much for us. Nothing more is known of her but this honorable mention of her name. It is probable that these persons were formerly residents in Greece, and that the apostle had there become acquainted with them, but that they had now removed to Rome. |
Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Mary (Μαριάμ Mariam)
Westcott and Hort read Μαρίαν. A Jewish name, the same as Miriam, meaning obstinacy, rebelliousness.
Bestowed labor (ἐκοπίασεν)
See on Luk 5:5. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us - Who this Mary was, or what the labor was which she bestowed upon the apostles, we know not. Her works, though hidden from man, are with God; and her name is recorded with honor in this book of life. |
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
