Context of John 11:26

24Martha answered Jesus, “I know that he’ll come back to life on the last day, when everyone will come back to life.” 25Jesus said to her, “I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?” 27Martha said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who was expected to come into the world.” 28After Martha had said this, she went back home and whispered to her sister Mary, “The teacher is here, and he is calling for you.”
