Juan 11:42

42 Ya sabía yo que siempre me escuchas, pero lo dije por la gente que está aquí presente, para que crean que tú me enviaste.

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 —¿No te dije que si crees verás la gloria de Dios? —le contestó Jesús.

41 Entonces quitaron la piedra. Jesús, alzando la vista, dijo:—Padre, te doy gracias porque me has escuchado.

42 Ya sabía yo que siempre me escuchas, pero lo dije por la gente que está aquí presente, para que crean que tú me enviaste.

43 Dicho esto, gritó con todas sus fuerzas:—¡Lázaro, sal fuera!

44 El muerto salió, con vendas en las manos y en los pies, y el rostro cubierto con un sudario.—Quítenle las vendas y dejen que se vaya —les dijo Jesús.
