John 11:21 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:21

When said Martha unto Jesus
When she was come to him,

Lord, if thou hadst been here my brother had not died:
which expresses much faith, but with a mixture of weakness, as if the presence of Christ was necessary for the working a cure; whereas he could as well have restored her brother to health absent, as present, had it been his will, as he did the centurion's servant, and the nobleman's son of Capernaum.

John 11:21 In-Context

19 Many of the Yehudim had joined the women around Marta and Miryam, to console them concerning their brother.

20 Therefore Marta, when she heard that Yeshua was coming, went and met him, but Miryam stayed in the house.

21 Therefore Marta said to Yeshua, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn't 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."
