John 12:19-29

19 So the Pharisees said to one another, ¹"You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, ²the world has gone after him."

20 Now ³among those who went up to worship at the feast were some ⁴Greeks.

21 So these came to ⁵Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

22 Philip went and told ⁶Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

23 And Jesus answered them, ⁷"The hour has come ⁸for the Son of Man to be glorified.

24 Truly, truly, I say to you, ⁹unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

25 ¹⁰Whoever loves his life loses it, and ¹¹whoever ¹²hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

26 If anyone serves me, he must ¹³follow me; and ¹⁴where I am, there will my servant be also. ¹⁵If anyone serves me, ¹⁶the Father will honor him.

27 ¹⁷"Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? 'Father, ¹⁸save me from ¹⁹this hour'? But ²⁰for this purpose I have come to ²¹this hour.

28 Father, glorify your name." Then ²²a voice came from heaven: "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again."

29 The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, ²³"An angel has spoken to him."
