Context of John 11:24

22But even now, I know that God will answer you. He will do whatever you ask him.’ 23Jesus told her, ‘Your brother will rise and become alive again.’ Martha replied, ‘I know that he will rise on the last day, to become alive again.’ 25Jesus said to her, ‘I have authority over death. I raise dead people, and I give people true life. Anyone who believes in me will live. Even if that person dies, he will continue to live. 26People who believe in me while they are alive will never die. Do you believe that?’

Commentaries on John 11:24

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection - The doctrine of the resurrection of the dead was then commonly received; and though it was our Lord who fully exemplified it by his own resurrection, yet the opinion was common, not only among God's people, but among all those who believed in the God of Israel.

• 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.
