John 11:30

Ver. 30-32. Coming, she falls down at his feet, which was a posture (as we have heard before) very usual in those countries, by which they testified both their civil respects to princes and great persons, and also which they used in the worship of God, Matthew 2:11. Whether Mary did it upon the one account or the other, depends upon what we cannot know; viz. whether she at this time was fully persuaded of his Divine nature; of which the best of the disciples, till Christ's resurrection, had but a faint and uncertain persuasion. The words which she useth to him are the same which Martha used, See Poole on "1 Thessalonians 11:21".
