Juan 11:42

42 Yo sabía que siempre me oyes; pero lo dije por causa de la multitud que me rodea, para que crean que tú me has enviado.

Juan 11:42 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:42

And I knew that thou hearest me always
Which was not only a support to the faith of Christ, as man, but is also to his people, whose advocate, intercessor, and mediator he is.

But because of the people which stand by, I said [it];
that he was heard, and always heard by God; and, therefore must have great interest in his affection, and knowledge of his will; yea, their wills must be the same:

that they may believe that thou hast sent me:
for if he had not sent him, he would never have heard him in anything, and much less in everything; wherefore this was a full proof, and clear evidence of his divine mission.

Juan 11:42 In-Context

40 Jesús le dijo<***>: ¿No te dije que si crees, verás la gloria de Dios?

41 Entonces quitaron la piedra. Jesús alzó los ojos a lo alto, y dijo: Padre, te doy gracias porque me has oído.

42 Yo sabía que siempre me oyes; pero lo dije por causa de la multitud que me rodea, para que crean que tú me has enviado.

43 Habiendo dicho esto, gritó con fuerte voz: ¡Lázaro, ven fuera!

44 Y el que había muerto salió, los pies y las manos atados con vendas, y el rostro envuelto en un sudario. Jesús les dijo<***>: Desatadlo, y dejadlo ir.
