This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 11:27. Ἐγὼ πεπίστευκα, I have believed and do believe) Martha replies with ready mind, I have taken up this faith.-σύ) Thou, who art come into the world, art the Son of God. This knowledge of the truth concerning Jesus Christ includes all the rest. [She testifies that she has faith in the word of Jesus, even though she did not fully understand it. This forms the analogue to the faith of Peter; ch. Joh 6:68-69, “Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life: and we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.”-A faith much more serene, than if one were to say, I believe whatever the Church believes.-V. g.]-ἐρχόμενος) Present; Mat 11:3.[299] For as yet He was only becoming known.
[299] σὺ εἷ ὁ ἐρχόμενος; the Comer: He that should come.-E. and T.
