John 12:24-32

24Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

25Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

26If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

27"Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.

28Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven: "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again."

29The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."

30Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not mine.

31Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out.

32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."
