Context of John 11:27

25Jesus said to her, “I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die. 26Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?” Martha said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who was expected to come into the world.” 28After Martha had said this, she went back home and whispered to her sister Mary, “The teacher is here, and he is calling for you.” 29When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Jesus.

Commentaries on John 11:27

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 27Yea, Lord: I believe - Ϛ, I have believed. Either meaning that she had believed this for some time past, or that, since he began to teach her, her faith had been considerable increased; but verbs preter, in Greek, are often used to signify the present. Martha here acknowledges Christ for the Messiah promised to their fathers; but her faith goes no farther; and, having received some hope of her brother's present resurrection, she waited for no farther…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 27Yea, Lord - This was a noble confession. It showed her full confidence in him as the Messiah, and her full belief that all that he said was true. See Matthew 16:16.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. Grace will keep sorrow from the heart, but not from the house. When God, by his grace and providence, is coming towards us in ways of mercy and comfort, we should, like Martha, go forth by faith, hope, and prayer, to meet him. When Martha went to meet Jesus, Mary sat still in the house; this temper formerly had been an advantage…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 26-27Do you believe this?: Jesus was not simply asking Martha if he could bring Lazarus out of the grave. Martha already believed that Lazarus would rise again on the last day. Instead, Jesus asked a deeper question. Did Martha believe that life itself is connected to him? “Yes, Lord”: Even though she did not fully understand, she acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ, God's chosen one. But she was still surprised by his power.Read the comment
