John 12:14-25

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

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

¹⁶Now his disciples knew not these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.

¹⁷The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead.

¹⁸Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign.

¹⁹The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.

²⁰And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast;

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

²²Philip comes and tells Andrew, and again Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus.

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

²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit.

²⁵He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.
