John 12:14-25

¹⁴And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

¹⁵Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.

¹⁶These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

¹⁷The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.

¹⁸For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign.

¹⁹The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing; lo, the world is gone after him.

²⁰Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast:

²¹these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

²²Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus.

²³And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.

²⁵He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
