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 Therefore as Martha heard, that Jesus came, she ran to him; but Mary sat at home.
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if thou haddest been here, my brother had not be dead.
22 But now I know, that whatever things thou shalt ask of God, God shall give to thee.
23 Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith to him, I know, that he shall rise again in the again-rising in the last day.
