Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
All Commentaries on John 11:25 Go To John 11
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Showing that He needed no other to help Him, if so be that He Himself is the Life; since if He needed another, how could He be the Resurrection and the Life? Yet He did not plainly state this, but merely hinted it. But when she says again, Whatsoever you will ask, He replies,
He that believes in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
Showing that He is the Giver of good things, and that we must ask of Him.
