John 12:20-26

Some Greeks Seek Jesus

20 Now ¹among those who went up to worship at the feast were some ²Greeks.

21 So these came to ³Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

22 Philip went and told ⁴Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

23 And Jesus answered them, ⁵"The hour has come ⁶for the Son of Man to be glorified.

24 Truly, truly, I say to you, ⁷unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

25 ⁸Whoever loves his life loses it, and ⁹whoever ¹⁰hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

26 If anyone serves me, he must ¹¹follow me; and ¹²where I am, there will my servant be also. ¹³If anyone serves me, ¹⁴the Father will honor him.
