John 12:23-28
23And Jesus answered them, saying, “1The hour has come for the Son of Man to 2be glorified. 24Truly, truly, I say to you, 3unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 254He who loves his 5life loses it, and he who 6hates his 7life in this world will keep it to life eternal. 26If anyone 8serves Me, he must follow Me; and 9where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone 10serves Me, the Father will 11honor him.
27“12Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘13Father, save Me from 14this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 2815Father, glorify Your name.” Then a 16voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
