John 12:21-36

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

²²Philip goeth and telleth Andrew; Andrew and Philip go and tell Jesus.

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

²⁴Truly, truly do I say to you, Unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, itself abideth 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 will keep it unto everlasting life.

²⁶If any one be a servant to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also will my servant be; if any one serve me, the Father will honor him.

²⁷Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour! But for this cause I came to this hour.

²⁸Father, glorify thy name! Then came there a voice from heaven: Yea, I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.

²⁹The multitude therefore that stood by, hearing this, said that it thundered. Others said, An angel hath spoken to him.

³⁰Jesus answered and said, This voice hath come not for my sake, but for yours.

³¹Now is the judgment of this world; now will the prince of this world be cast out;

³²and I, if I be lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men to me.

³³This he said, signifying what kind of death he was to die.

³⁴The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the Law that the Christ abideth for ever; how then dost thou say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

³⁵Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

³⁶While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spoke Jesus, and went away, and hid himself from them.
