John 11:22

22 Yet even now I know that whatever You ask from 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 As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet Him. But Mary remained seated in the house.
21 Then Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother wouldn't have died.
22 Yet even now I know that whatever You ask from God, God will give You."
23 "Your brother will rise again," Jesus told her.
24 Martha said, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
