The Greek that is translated as “the Jews who were with her in the house” or similar in English is translated in the German New Testament translation by Berger / Nord (publ. 1999) as die jüdischen Freunde, die bei Maria zu Hause gewesen waren or “the Jewish friends who were with Mary at her house.” Likewise, in John 11:45, that translation also refers to “Jewish friends” at Mary’s house.
See also the Jews (people).
