This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Some think that these words contain no allusion to the immediate restoration of Lazarus, and that Martha (Joh 11:24) understands them rightly. More probably Christ includes the immediate restoration of Lazarus, but she does not venture to do so, and rejects the allusion to the final Resurrection as poor consolation.
