John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:19

And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary ,.... Or "to those that were about Martha and Mary"; in order to have access to them, they came to them, and to the rest of the family; though the phrase may design them only, as the Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions read: these Jews, as appears from the context, John 11:18 , came from Jerusalem, and might be some of the principal inhabitants; and it may be concluded, that these persons, Lazarus, Martha, and Mary, were people of note... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:20

Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming ,.... Which she might hear of, either by a messenger sent by Christ to her, to acquaint her of it; or rather by some of the people of the town, who knew him, and ran and told her of it; and she being an active person, and stirring about house, might receive the report unknown to her sister, as it seems she did; and as soon as she had the hint, without staying to communicate it to her sister, went and met him ; either through her... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:21

When said Martha unto Jesus ,.... When she was come to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here my brother had not died : which expresses much faith, but with a mixture of weakness, as if the presence of Christ was necessary for the working a cure; whereas he could as well have restored her brother to health absent, as present, had it been his will, as he did the centurion's servant, and the nobleman's son of Capernaum. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:22

But I know that even now ,.... At this distance of time, though her brother had been in the grave four days: whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee ; whether Martha had such a clear notion of the deity of Christ, as yet, as she afterwards had, is not so certain: however, she was persuaded that he had great interest with God, and that whatever he desired of him was granted to him; and though she does not mention the resurrection of her brother, yet it seems to be what... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:23

Jesus saith unto her, thy brother shall rise again. Christ knew what she meant, and accordingly gave her an answer, and yet in such general terms, that she could not tell whether his meaning was, that he should rise now, or at the general resurrection. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:24

Martha saith unto him ,.... Being desirous of knowing the sense and meaning of Christ, as well as to express her own faith; I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection, at the last day . The Jews were divided about the doctrine of the resurrection, the Sadducees denied it, the Pharisees asserted it; and on this latter side was Martha; she believed there would be a resurrection of the dead; that this would be at the last day, or at the end of the world; and that her brother would... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:25

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life ,.... Signifying, that he was able of himself to raise men from death to life, without asking it of his Father; and that he could do it now, as well as at the general resurrection; at which time Christ will be the efficient cause of it; and which will display both his omniscience and his omnipotence; as his resurrection is the earnest and pledge, and will be the model and exemplar of it. This is true of Christ, with regard to a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:26

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me ,..... Whoever will be found alive at Christ's second coming, and is a believer in him, shall never die , but shall be changed, and shall be for ever with Christ; and such as shall be raised to life by him, shall never die any more, not even a bodily death, and much less an eternal one, or the second death: and though believers die a corporeal death as others do, yet their souls live, and live in happiness, whilst their bodies are under the power... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:27

She saith unto him, yea, Lord ,.... That is, she firmly believed all that he said concerning himself, and the happiness of those that believed in him: and for the confirmation of it adds, I believe : or "I have believed", as the Vulgate Latin version renders it; that is, long ago, ever since she knew him: that thou art the Christ the Son of God, which should come into the world ; that he was the true Messiah, and the proper and natural Son of God, of the same nature with God, equal... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 11:28

And when she had so said ,.... Had expressed her faith in Christ in such terms, as the apostles themselves did, Matthew 16:16 John 1:49 . She went her way ; from Christ, being ordered by him to go to her sister Mary, and fetch her to him: and called Mary her sister secretly ; either beckoned her to come to her, or whispered her in the ear privately, as Nonnus paraphrases it, that the Jews, who were enemies to Christ, might not hear: saying, the master is come ; near the town;... read more
