John 11:41

"Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”"

Key Reflection

In this verse, Jesus is affirming Mary's faith and promising her a spiritual revelation of divine splendor, linking belief with the direct experience of God's presence—a core teaching emphasizing the transformative power of faith in揭示耶稣对玛利亚所说的这句话的灵性含义：耶稣向她保证了她的信心，并承诺让她经历上帝荣耀的直接体验——这一教导的核心在于信仰如何带来与上帝同在的深刻转变。

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 41. Lifted up his eyes. In an attitude of prayer. See Lu 18:13; Mt 14:19. I thank thee that thou hast heard me. It is possible that John has recorded only the sum or substance of the prayer on this occasion. The thanks which Jesus renders here are evidently in view of the fact that power had been committed to him to raise up Lazarus. On account of the people, and the signal proof which would be furnished of the truth of his mission, he expressed his thanks to God. In all his doings he recognized his union to the Father, and his dependence on him as Mediator.
