Then Jesus said, 'Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?' — Jesus appeals to His earlier promise (verse 25-26) and reinterprets Martha's objection in light of faith: if she believes, she will see the glory (doxa) of God manifested in resurrection. Faith enables vision; unbelief prevents it. The promise moves from Martha's pragmatic concern to the theological purpose of the sign.
