John 11:22

22 But I know that even now whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it unto thee.

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 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him; but Mary sat still in the house.

21 Then Martha said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died.

22 But I know that even now whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it unto thee.

23 Jesus said unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

24 Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection in the last day.
