John 11:25-26 NASB,NASB

The Pulpit Commentary - John 11:1-57

7. Christ the Antagonist of death—a victory of love and power . The narrative of this chapter is a further advance in the proof that the unbelief of the Jews was aggravated by the greatness of the revelation. The issue of his sublime and culminating act of power, of his supreme and self-revealing work of transcendent tenderness and beauty, was a deeper and wilder passion of hatred. The evangelist completes his series of seven great miracles with one that in true and believing minds,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 11:17-27

Jesus and Martha. Our Lord had at last come to the neighborhood of Bethany, but not to the village itself. I. THE CONDOLENCE OF THE JEWS WITH THE BEREAVED SISTERS . "And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary to comfort them concerning their brother." 1. This visit of sympathy implies that the family at Bethany was well known and highly respected by the Jews of Jerusalem . 2. It afforded a providential opportunity to Jesus for the working of his last... read more

Martha's faith. We have here— I. HER FAITH MANIFESTED . 1. In its strength . In her conversation with Jesus there axe proofs of a genuine and strong faith in him. 2. In its weakness . Though genuine, and strong in some of its features, it is still weak and incomplete. In her faith: 3. In its private struggles . In the language of Martha there are indications of the private struggles of her faith. II. HER FAITH STRENGTHENED . 1. By its own... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 11:25-26

Jesus said to her, I am the Resurrection . Not merely that God will give me what I ask, but that I am in some sense already his gift to man of resurrection , inasmuch as I am that of Life . (So Luthardt and Godet, but not Meyer, who makes ζωή the positive result of ἀνάστασις .) By taking humanity into his Person, Christ reveals the permanence of human individuality, that is, of such individuality as is in union with himself. He associates ( John 14:6 ) "the Life" which he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 11:25-26

The living and life-giving Lord. The confession of Martha was a good and sound one. Yet it is clear that our Lord did not wish her to rest in her creed . He pointed her to himself as the Sum and Substance of all true beliefs, as the Object of all true faith. Creeds are good for the memory, Christ is good for the heart. I. LIFE IS IN CHRIST . The miracles of raising from the dead which Jesus wrought were intended not only for the assuagement of human sorrow, but for the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 11:25

I am the resurrection - I am the author or the cause of the resurrection. It so depends on my power and will, that it may be said that I am the resurrection itself. This is a most expressive way of saying that the whole doctrine of the resurrection came from him, and the whole power to effect it was his. In a similar manner he is said to be made of God unto us “wisdom and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption,” 1 Corinthians 1:30.And the life - John 1:4. As the resurrection of all... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 11:26

Whosoever liveth - He had just spoken of the prospects of the pious dead. He now says that the same prospects are before the living who have like faith. Greek, “Every one living and believing on me.”Shall never die - As the dead, though dead, shall yet live, so the living shall have the same kind of life. They shall never come into eternal death. See John 6:50-51, John 6:54, John 6:58. Greek, “Shall by no means die forever.”Believest thou this? - This question was doubtless asked because it... read more

John 11:25. Jesus said, I am the resurrection The author and cause of the resurrection of the dead; and the life The source of life, natural, spiritual, and eternal; of the living, both in the present world and in the world to come. Martha believed that in answer to his prayer God would give any thing; but he would have her to know that by his power he could effect any thing. Martha believed a resurrection to take place at the last day; but Christ tells her he had now the power whereby it... read more

John 11:26. And whosoever liveth That Isaiah , 1 st, A natural life; whosoever lives in this world, whether he be Jew or Gentile, and wherever, in whatever country or age he lives; and believeth That is, believeth while he liveth in this world, while he is here, in this state of probation; for, after death, it will be too late to believe. Or, 2d, Whosoever believeth, and liveth a spiritual life, and continues to believe, that he may continue so to live. For he that lives and believes, is... read more
