Study note
Setting — Martha speaks to Jesus at Lazarus’s tomb, responding to His prior declaration that her brother will rise again.
The words — οἶδα (oida) means "I know," and ἀναστήσεται (anastēsetai) means "he will rise again." These terms frame her response as a confident expectation of a future event.
The thread — This expectation of a future awakening appears in Daniel 12:2, Acts 24:15, and John 5:28.
Why it lands — The text states a future bodily resurrection before Jesus immediately redefines resurrection as a present, personal reality in John 11:25. It asks a reader to hold a traditional eschatological hope while being redirected to Christ’s present authority over life and death.
