John 12:23-40
-
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?
-
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
-
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
-
37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
-
38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
-
39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
-
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
