John 11:22

22 And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, 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 Martha, however, as soon as she heard the tidings, "Jesus is coming," went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting in the house.

21 So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. "Master, if you had been here," she said, "my brother would not have died.

22 And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."

23 "Your brother shall rise again," replied Jesus.

24 "I know," said Martha, "that he will rise again at the resurrection, on the last day."
