Commentaries on John 11:25
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25I am the resurrection, and the life - Thou sayest that thy brother shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day; but by whom shall he arise if not by Me, who am the author of the resurrection, and the source of life?

When Martha went to meet Jesus, Mary sat still in the house; this temper formerly had been an advantage…Read the comment

For more on the I am statements of Jesus, see the study note on 6:35.Read the comment
