• 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

These undesigned touches not only charmingly illustrate the minute historic fidelity of both narratives, but their inner harmony.Read the comment
