John 11:22

22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."

John 11:22 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:22

But I know that even now
At this distance of time, though her brother had been in the grave four days:

whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it] thee;
whether Martha had such a clear notion of the deity of Christ, as yet, as she afterwards had, is not so certain: however, she was persuaded that he had great interest with God, and that whatever he desired of him was granted to him; and though she does not mention the resurrection of her brother, yet it seems to be what she had in view.

John 11:22 In-Context

20 So when Marta heard that Yeshua was coming, she went out to meet him; but Miryam continued sitting shiv`ah in the house.
21 Marta said to Yeshua, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
23 Yeshua said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
24 Marta said, "I know that he will rise again at the Resurrection on the Last Day."
