Jesus said to her
This phrase highlights the personal and direct communication of Jesus with Martha. The Greek verb "eipen" (εἶπεν) is used here, indicating a definitive and authoritative statement. In the context of the Gospel of John, Jesus often speaks with authority, reflecting His divine nature and mission. This personal interaction underscores the relational aspect of Jesus' ministry, emphasizing His compassion and understanding of human grief and suffering.

Your brother
The term "brother" (Greek: "adelphos," ἀδελφός) is significant in both familial and spiritual contexts. Lazarus, the brother of Martha and Mary, represents not only a familial bond but also the broader spiritual family of believers. In the early Christian community, the term "brother" was used to denote fellow believers, highlighting the unity and love that should characterize the body of Christ. This familial language reinforces the personal nature of Jesus' promise and His concern for individual lives.

will rise again
The phrase "will rise again" (Greek: "anastēsetai," ἀναστήσεται) is a powerful declaration of hope and resurrection. The verb "anastēsetai" is in the future tense, indicating a promise of what is to come. In the Jewish context of the time, there was a belief in the resurrection at the last day, as seen in Martha's response in the following verses. However, Jesus' statement points to both the immediate miracle He is about to perform and the ultimate resurrection hope for all believers. This promise is central to Christian eschatology, affirming the belief in life after death and the victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ.

(23) Thy brother shall rise again.--These words, spoken as they were by our Lord after the purpose of His journey, as expressed in John 11:11, and immediately before the accomplishment of it, cannot be taken to exclude the restoration of Lazarus to physical life. At the same time, the form of the words clearly point, as Martha understood them to point, to "the resurrection at the last day." They are chosen for this very purpose; to lead her from the passionate longing for her brother's restoration, and from a vague thought of the Lord's power and will to restore him, to a wider and truer conception of what life really is, and to a realisation of the truth that for a true believer in Him there can be no such thing as death. This "sign," like every other, is to be no mere wonder, nor is it to be limited to our restored life. It is to lead to the spiritual truth which is signified; and is to be for them and for mankind the true conquest of death by Life.

Verse 23. - Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Hengstenberg thinks that the reply of Jesus is a grand dogmatic assertion of the resurrection of the dead, in special application to Lazarus, and it covers the kind of ἀνάστασις which takes place at death, as well as the resurrection at the last day. If so, surely our Lord would have said, "Lazarus is risen again." The Lord does elsewhere speak of the dead as risen, and of their angelic state, and of all the dead living unto God; but he is here speaking of the immediate resurrection of Lazarus from what is called death to that which is called life, and which would be a pledge and type of the final resurrection of all.
