== Commentary ==
In John 11:25, Jesus is speaking to [[Martha (sister of Lazarus)|Martha]], the sister of the dead [[Lazarus]]. Jesus reveals to her, that He is the one who gives life, and later in the chapter he actually raises Lazarus from death ([[John 11:43]]). The theme "I am" follows on from other examples in the [[Gospel of John]] including when Jesus states "I am the bread of life" in [[John 6:35]] and "I am the good shepherd" in [[John 10:11]]. == Commentary =Jesus' revelation about himself - "[[I am]]"=== * [[John 6:35]] - "I am the bread of life"* [[John 8:12]] - "I am the light of the world"* [[John 8:58]] - "I AM"* [[John 10:9]] - "I am the gate"* [[John 10:11]] - "I am the good shepherd"* [[John 14:6]] - "I am the way, the truth and the life"* [[John 15:1]] - "I am the true vine"
