• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 22I know, that even now - She durst not ask so great a favor in direct terms; she only intimated modestly that she knew he could do it.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 22Whatsoever thou wilt ask of God - Whatever is necessary to our consolation that thou wilt ask, thou canst obtain. It is possible that she meant gently to intimate that he could raise him up and restore him again to them.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 17-32Verses 17-32 Here was a house where the fear of God was, and on which his blessing rested; yet it was made a house of mourning.

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

(See on Lu 10:38-42). but Mary sat ... in the house--equally true to her placid character. These undesigned touches not only charmingly illustrate the minute historic fidelity of both narratives, but their inner harmony.Read the comment
