Contextual Overview

17 So Jesus came to Bethany, and he found that he had been four days in the tomb. 18 Now Bethany was towards Jerusalem, a distance of about two miles. 19 And many Jews kept coming to Martha and Mary, to comfort their hearts concerning their brother. 20 When Martha heard that Jesus had come, she went out to meet him; but Mary sat in the house. 21 Then Martha said to Jesus, My Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, he will give you. 23 Jesus said to her, Your brother will rise up. 24 Martha said to him, I know he will rise up in the resurrection at the last day. 25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, even though he die, he shall live. 26 And whoever is alive and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thy brother shall rise again - Martha had spoken of the power of Jesus. He said nothing of himself in reply. It was not customary for him to speak of himself, unless it was demanded by necessity. It cannot be doubted that by rising again, here, Jesus referred to the act which he was about to perform; but as Martha understood it, referring to the future resurrection, it was full of consolation. The idea that departed friends shall rise to glory is one that fills the mind with joy, and one which we owe only to the religion of Christ.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 23. Thy brother shall rise again. — That is, directly; for it was by raising him immediately from the dead that he intended to comfort her.
