In John 11:21, Martha expresses her grief over the death of her brother, Lazarus, saying, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." Then, she quickly adds that she has not lost hope in Jesus’ power: “But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you” (John 11:22). This is a striking affirmation of her faith in Jesus in the midst of the uncertainty after her brother's death.
