John 12:20-33

20NowG1161 thereG1563 were someG5100 1GreeksG1672 amongG1537 thoseG3588 who were goingG305 up to worshipG4352 at 2the feastG1859; 21theseG3778 thenG3767 cameG4334 to 3PhilipG5376, whoG3588 was from 4BethsaidaG966 of GalileeG1056, and began to askG2065 him, sayingG3004, “SirG2962, we wishG2309 to seeG3708 JesusG2424.” 22PhilipG5376 cameG2064 and toldG3004 5AndrewG406; AndrewG406 and PhilipG5376 cameG2064 and toldG3004 JesusG2424. 23And JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, sayingG3004, “6The hourG5610 has comeG2064 for the SonG5207 of ManG444 to 7be glorifiedG1392. 24TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, 8unlessG1437G3361 a grainG2848 of wheatG4621 fallsG4098 into the earthG1093 and diesG599, it remainsG3306 aloneG3441; but ifG1437 it diesG599, it bearsG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590. 259He who lovesG5368 his 10lifeG5590 losesG622 it, and he who 11hatesG3404 his 12lifeG5590 in thisG3778 worldG2889 will keepG5442 it to lifeG2222 eternalG166. 26IfG1437 anyoneG5100 13servesG1247 Me, he must followG190 Me; and 14whereG3699 I amG1510, thereG1563 My servantG1249 will be alsoG2532; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 15servesG1247 Me, the FatherG3962 will 16honorG5091 him.

27“17NowG3568 My soulG5590 has become troubledG5015; and whatG5101 shall I sayG3004, ‘18FatherG3962, saveG4982 Me from 19thisG3778 hourG5610’? But for thisG3778 purpose I cameG2064 to thisG3778 hourG5610. 2820FatherG3962, glorifyG1392 Your nameG3686.” ThenG3767 a 21voiceG5456 cameG2064 out of heavenG3772: “I have bothG2532 glorifiedG1392 it, and will glorifyG1392 it againG3825.” 29SoG3767 the crowdG3793 of people who stoodG2476 by and heardG191 it were sayingG3004 that it had thunderedG1027G1096; othersG243 were sayingG3004, “22An angelG32 has spokenG2980 to Him.” 30JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “23ThisG3778 voiceG5456 has not comeG1096 for My sakeG1223, but for your sakesG1223. 3124NowG3568 judgmentG2920 is upon thisG3778 worldG2889; nowG3568 25the rulerG758 of thisG3778 worldG2889 will be castG1544 out. 32And I, ifG1437 I 26am liftedG5312 up from the earthG1093, will 27drawG1670 allG3956 menG3956 to MyselfG1683.” 33But He was sayingG3004 thisG3778 28to indicateG4591 the kindG4169 of deathG2288 by whichG4169 He was to dieG599.
