John 11:24

22 But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”

23 “Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.

Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.

26 And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
