John 12:24-34

24 Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.

25 He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever.

26 If any man is my servant, let him come after me; and where I am, there will my servant be. If any man becomes my servant, my Father will give him honour.

27 Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.

28 Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again.

29 Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him.

30 Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.

31 Now is this world to be judged: now will the ruler of this world be sent out.

32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will make all men come to me.

33 (This he said, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

34 Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?
