John 12:23-33

23 And Jesus answered them, saying, "¹The hour has come for the Son of Man to ²be glorified.

24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, ³unless * a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

25 "⁴He who loves his life loses it, and he who ⁵hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.

26 "If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and ⁶where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will ⁷honor him.

27 "⁸Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, '⁹Father, save Me from ¹⁰this hour '? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

28 "¹¹Father, glorify Your name." Then a ¹²voice came out of heaven: "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

29 So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered *; others were saying, "¹³An angel has spoken to Him."

30 Jesus answered and said, "¹⁴This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.

31 "¹⁵Now judgment is upon this world; now ¹⁶the ruler of this world will be cast out.

32 "And I, if I ¹⁷am lifted up from the earth, will ¹⁸draw all men to Myself."

33 But He was saying this ¹⁹to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.
