John 17:1

When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.

2 For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him.

3 Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

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.
