John 11:22

22 But I know that even now God will give you anything you ask for."

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 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him. But Mary stayed at home.
21 "Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "I wish you had been here! Then my brother would not have died.
22 But I know that even now God will give you anything you ask for."
23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
24 Martha answered, "I know he will rise again. This will happen when people are raised from the dead on the last day."
