Commentary on John 11:26

Theological / Devotional

Shall never die. The negative is strongly expressed in the Greek (see on ch. 4:48). The reference here is clearly to the second death and not to the cessation of life that comes to all at the end of their earthly pilgrimage (see on ch. 10:28). This latter experience is implied in ch. 11:25 in the expression “though he were dead,” which is better rendered, “even though he should die.” The second death is synonymous with the expression “perish” in ch. 3:16. From this experience those who live and believe in Jesus will be delivered (Rev. 20:6).
