John 12:16-34
-
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
-
17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
-
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
-
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
-
20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
-
21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
-
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
-
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
-
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
-
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
-
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
-
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
-
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
-
29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
-
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
-
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
-
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
-
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
-
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
