Martha replied
Martha, the sister of Lazarus, is a figure of faith and practicality. Her response is rooted in her understanding of Jewish eschatology. The Greek word for "replied" is "λέγει" (legei), indicating a statement of belief or conviction. Martha's reply reflects her deep-seated faith in the teachings of the Pharisees, who believed in the resurrection of the dead, contrasting with the Sadducees who did not. Her response is not just a statement but a testament to her trust in Jesus' power and the promises of God.

I know
The Greek word "οἶδα" (oida) implies a knowledge that is certain and assured. Martha's use of "I know" indicates her confidence in the doctrine of resurrection. This knowledge is not merely intellectual but is deeply personal and experiential, reflecting her faith in the promises of God as revealed in the Scriptures. It is a declaration of her belief in the continuity of life beyond death, a cornerstone of Christian hope.

that he will rise again
The phrase "he will rise again" is a direct reference to the resurrection. The Greek verb "ἀναστήσεται" (anastēsetai) is in the future tense, indicating an event that is anticipated with certainty. This reflects the Jewish belief in a future resurrection, a hope that was prevalent among the Pharisees and is affirmed by Jesus in His teachings. Martha's statement is a proclamation of hope, rooted in the promises of God and the teachings of Jesus.

in the resurrection
The term "resurrection" comes from the Greek "ἀνάστασις" (anastasis), meaning a rising up or standing again. This concept is central to Christian eschatology and is a promise of new life and restoration. The resurrection is not just a return to life but a transformation into a glorified state. Martha's belief in the resurrection is a testament to her faith in God's power to bring life from death, a theme that is echoed throughout the New Testament.

at the last day
The phrase "at the last day" refers to the eschatological belief in a final day of judgment and resurrection. The "last day" is a concept found in Jewish apocalyptic literature and is affirmed by Jesus in His teachings. It signifies the culmination of history and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. Martha's reference to the "last day" reflects her understanding of God's timeline and her hope in the ultimate restoration of all things. This belief in the last day is a source of comfort and assurance for believers, affirming that death is not the end but a transition to eternal life with God.

(24) I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection . . .--Her answer expresses something of disappointment. Her whole heart had been fixed on one thought, and in all that had passed her hopes had found a support which seemed to warrant the hope for its accomplishment. She is now reminded of a general truth which she had rested in before, but this does not satisfy the expectation she had formed now. We have all felt something of her disappointment as we have stood beside the sepulchre. We have known, with a knowledge more full than hers, that "he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day;" but this knowledge has often had little power to remove the deep sorrow of the heart. We conquer the pagan thought "lost for ever"; but we are often conquered by the thought "lost for the present."

For the thought of the resurrection, comp. Notes on John 5:29 and Luke 14:14. The Pharisees expected the resurrection of the just to accompany the Messianic advent. (Comp. Daniel 12:2 and 2 Maccabees 7:9.) Still, the answer is in advance of that which we should expect, as compared with the dimness which rests upon even the fullest expression with regard to the resurrection in the Old Testament, and is to be traced to earlier lessons she had received from Him who is teaching her now.

Verse 24. - Martha saith to him, I know that he will rise again at the resurrection in the last day. Some disappointment is revealed in this speech, such as we have all felt with the promise of an ultimate resurrection, when the grave has closed over some dear friend. We find small relief in the assurance. The old ties are snapped, the old ways are at an end. We shall go to the dead: he will not return to us. The last day is too far off to comfort us concerning our brother. That the answer of Martha is important as revealing belief in the resurrection at the last day; of which, however, it must be remembered those who had heard our Lord's own assertions about it could no longer have doubted (John 6:39, 40, 44, 54; John 12:48). The teachings of Jesus in this Gospel with reference to eternal life made the promise of resurrection, the transfiguration of the physical life of man, a necessity, not a contradiction. The reply of Martha shows that she does not as yet grasp the whole truth. "The last day" may be far nearer in her thought than we now know it to have been, or them it is to us; still, however near, it would imply a complete transformation of all these sweet human relationships. She longed to have the home as it was before Lazarus died. It is, however, of very great interest that we have, on the part of a Jew, this profound expectation of resurrection and immortality. Jews, or at least Pharisees, had derived from Old Testament thought - from Genesis, and from Job, and from the Psalter, from the Books of Daniel and Ezekiel, and from the progress of human thought as evinced in 'Wisdom of Solomon' - a great belief in both. Martha reveals incidentally the new light which had been cast on the mystery of the grave by the words and acts of Jesus.
