John 12:25-50
25He that loveth his lifeG2222 loseth it; and he that hateth his lifeG2222 in this worldG2889 shall keepG5442 it unto lifeG2222 eternalG166. 26If any man serveG1247 me, let him followG190 me; and whereG3699 I amG1510, there shall alsoG2532 my servantG1249 beG1510: if any man serveG1247 me, him will the FatherG3962 honorG5091. 27NowG3568 is my soulG5590 troubledG5015; and what shall I sayG3004? FatherG3962, saveG4982 me from this hourG5610. But for this cause cameG2064 I unto this hourG5610. 28FatherG3962, glorifyG1392 thy nameG3686. There cameG2064 thereforeG3767 a voiceG5456 out of heavenG3772, saying, I have both glorifiedG1392 it, and will glorifyG1392 it againG3825. 29The multitudeG3793 thereforeG3767, that stoodG2476 by, and heardG191 it, saidG3004 that it had thunderedG1027: othersG243 saidG3004, An angelG32 hath spokenG2980 to him. 30JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, This voiceG5456 hath not comeG1096 for my sakeG1223, but for your sakesG1223. 31NowG3568 isG1510 the judgmentG2920 of this worldG2889: nowG3568 shall the princeG758 of this worldG2889 beG1510 castG1544 out. 32And I, if I be liftedG5312 up from the earthG1093, will drawG1670 all men unto myself. 33But this he saidG3004, signifyingG4591 by what manner of deathG2288 he should dieG599. 34The multitudeG3793 thereforeG3767 answeredG611 him, We have heardG191 out of the lawG3551 that the ChristG5547 abideth for ever: and howG4459 sayest thou, The SonG5207 of manG444 must beG1510 liftedG5312 up? who isG1510 this SonG5207 of manG444? 35JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto them, Yet a little while isG1510 the lightG5457 among you. WalkG4043 while ye have the lightG5457, that darknessG4653 overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darknessG4653 knoweth not whither he goeth. 36While ye have the lightG5457, believeG4100 on the lightG5457, that ye may becomeG1096 sonsG5207 of lightG5457.
These thingsG3778 spake JesusG2424, and he departedG565 and hidG2928 himself from them. 37But though he had done so manyG5118 signsG4592 before them, yet they believedG4100 not on him: 38that the wordG3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396 might be fulfilled, which he spake,
39For this cause they could not believeG4100, for that IsaiahG2268 saidG3004 againG3825,
41These thingsG3778 saidG3004 IsaiahG2268, because he sawG3708 his gloryG1391; and he spake of him. 42Nevertheless evenG2532 of the rulersG758 manyG4183 believedG4100 on him; but because of the PhariseesG5330 they did not confessG3670 it, lestG3361 they should be put out of the synagogueG656: 43for they lovedG25 the gloryG1391 that is of menG444 moreG3123 than the gloryG1391 that is of GodG2316.
44And JesusG2424 criedG2896 and saidG3004, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sentG3992 me. 45And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sentG3992 me. 46I am comeG2064 a lightG5457 into the worldG2889, that whosoever believeth on me may not abideG3306 in the darknessG4653. 47And if any man hearG191 my sayings, and keepG5442 them not, I judgeG2919 him not: for I cameG2064 not to judgeG2919 the worldG2889, but to saveG4982 the worldG2889. 48He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayingsG3056, hath oneG3739 that judgeth him: the wordG3056 that I spake, the sameG846 shall judgeG2919 him in the lastG2078 dayG2250. 49For I spake not from myself; but the FatherG3962 that sentG3992 me, he hath givenG1325 me a commandmentG1785, what I should sayG3004, and what I should speakG2980. 50And I know that his commandmentG1785 isG1510 lifeG2222 eternalG166; the thingsG3739 thereforeG3767 which I speakG2980, evenG2532 as the FatherG3962 hath saidG3004 unto me, so I speakG2980.
