Her response to Jesus reflects her faith and understanding of Jewish teachings. In the cultural context, women were often seen as secondary in religious matters, yet Martha's engagement with Jesus shows her active role in theological discourse. Her reply indicates a personal relationship with Jesus and a deep trust in His words.<p><b>I know</b><br>This phrase indicates certainty and confidence in Martha's belief. It reflects a strong faith in the teachings she has received, likely from Jesus Himself or from the Jewish tradition. Her knowledge is not speculative but assured, showing her deep conviction in the promises of God.<p><b>that he will rise again</b><br>Martha expresses her belief in the resurrection, a doctrine that was held by the Pharisees and many Jews of the time, though not by the Sadducees. This belief in the resurrection of the dead is rooted in Old Testament scriptures such as <a href="/daniel/12-2.htm">Daniel 12:2</a> and <a href="/isaiah/26-19.htm">Isaiah 26:19</a>. Martha's statement shows her alignment with this hope and expectation.<p><b>in the resurrection</b><br>The concept of resurrection is central to Jewish eschatology and is further developed in Christian theology. It signifies the hope of life after death and the restoration of God's people. This belief is foundational to the Christian faith, as seen in <a href="/1_corinthians/15.htm">1 Corinthians 15</a>, where Paul discusses the resurrection of the dead as a core tenet.<p><b>at the last day</b><br>The "last day" refers to the eschatological future, a time when God will bring history to its culmination. This phrase is connected to the prophetic visions of the end times found in the Old Testament, such as in the book of Daniel, and is echoed in the New Testament, particularly in the teachings of Jesus about the end of the age. It signifies the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises and the final judgment.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/martha.htm">Martha</a></b><br>The sister of Lazarus and Mary, known for her practical nature and deep faith.

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."<p>For the thought of the resurrection, comp. Notes on <a href="/john/5-29.htm" title="And shall come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.">John 5:29</a> and <a href="/luke/14-14.htm" title="And you shall be blessed; for they cannot recompense you: for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.">Luke 14:14</a>. The Pharisees expected the resurrection of the just to accompany the Messianic advent. (Comp. <a href="/daniel/12-2.htm" title="And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.">Daniel 12:2</a> and <a href="//apocrypha.org/2_maccabees/7-9.htm" title="And when he was at the last gasp, he said, Thou like a fury takest us out of this present life, but the King of the world shall raise us up, who have died for his laws, unto everlasting life.">2 Maccabees 7:9</a>.) 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.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/john/11.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 24.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Martha saith to him, I know</span> <span class="cmt_word">that he will rise again at the resurrection in the last day.</span> 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 (<a href="/john/6-39.htm">John 6:39, 40, 44, 54</a>; <a href="/john/12-48.htm">John 12:48</a>). 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. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/john/11-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Martha</span><br /><span class="grk">Μάρθα</span> <span class="translit">(Martha)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - Nominative Feminine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3136.htm">Strong's 3136: </a> </span><span class="str2">Martha, sister of Mary and Lazarus of Bethany.
