John 12:23-33

23 Yeshua gave them this answer: "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Yes, indeed! I tell you that unless a grain of wheat that falls to the ground dies, it stays just a grain; but if it dies, it produces a big harvest.
25 He who loves his life loses it, but he who hates his life in this world will keep it safe right on into eternal life!
26 If someone is serving me, let him follow me; wherever I am, my servant will be there too. My Father will honor anyone who serves me.
27 "Now I am in turmoil. What can I say -- `Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason that I have come to this hour. I will say this:
28 `Father, glorify your name!'" At this a bat-kol came out of heaven, "I have glorified it before, and I will glorify it again!"
29 The crowd standing there and hearing it said that it had thundered; others said, "An angel spoke to him."
30 Yeshua answered, "This bat-kol did not come for my sake but for yours.
31 Now is the time for this world to be judged, now the ruler of this world will be expelled.
32 As for me, when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself."
33 He said this to indicate what kind of death he would die.
