John 12 : 20 - 36
Chapter 12
| 20 | Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.
|
| 21 | Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
|
| 22 | Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
|
| 23 | But Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.
|
| 24 | Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.
|
| 25 | He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
|
| 26 | If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.
|
| 27 | "Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? "Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour.
|
| 28 | Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again."
|
| 29 | Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him."
|
| 30 | Jesus answered and said, "This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.
|
| 31 | Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
|
| 32 | And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself."
|
| 33 | This He said, signifying by what death He would die.
|
| 34 | The people answered Him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, "The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"
|
| 35 | Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
|
| 36 | While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.
