John 12:25-50

251He who lovesG5368 his 2lifeG5590 losesG622 it, and he who 3hatesG3404 his 4lifeG5590 in thisG3778 worldG2889 will keepG5442 it to lifeG2222 eternalG166. 26IfG1437 anyoneG5100 5servesG1247 Me, he must followG190 Me; and 6whereG3699 I amG1510, thereG1563 My servantG1249 will be alsoG2532; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 7servesG1247 Me, the FatherG3962 will 8honorG5091 him.

27“9NowG3568 My soulG5590 has become troubledG5015; and whatG5101 shall I sayG3004, ‘10FatherG3962, saveG4982 Me from 11thisG3778 hourG5610’? But for thisG3778 purpose I cameG2064 to thisG3778 hourG5610. 2812FatherG3962, glorifyG1392 Your nameG3686.” ThenG3767 a 13voiceG5456 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, “14An angelG32 has spokenG2980 to Him.” 30JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “15ThisG3778 voiceG5456 has not comeG1096 for My sakeG1223, but for your sakesG1223. 3116NowG3568 judgmentG2920 is upon thisG3778 worldG2889; nowG3568 17the rulerG758 of thisG3778 worldG2889 will be castG1544 out. 32And I, ifG1437 I 18am liftedG5312 up from the earthG1093, will 19drawG1670 allG3956 menG3956 to MyselfG1683.” 33But He was sayingG3004 thisG3778 20to indicateG4591 the kindG4169 of deathG2288 by whichG4169 He was to dieG599. 34The crowdG3793 thenG3767 answeredG611 Him, “We have heardG191 out of 21the LawG3551 that 2223the ChristG5547 is to remainG3306 foreverG165; and howG4459 can You sayG3004, ‘The 24SonG5207 of ManG444 mustG1163 be 25liftedG5312 up’? WhoG5101 is thisG3778 26SonG5207 of ManG444?” 35SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “27For a littleG3398 whileG5550 longerG2089 28the LightG5457 is amongG1722 you. 29WalkG4043 whileG5613 you haveG2192 the LightG5457, soG2443 that darknessG4653 will not overtakeG2638 you; he who 30walksG4043 in the darknessG4653 does not knowG3609 whereG4226 he goesG5217. 36WhileG5613 you haveG2192 the LightG5457, 31believeG4100 in the LightG5457, soG2443 that you may becomeG1096 32sonsG5207 of LightG5457.”

TheseG3778 thingsG3778 JesusG2424 spokeG2980, and He wentG565 awayG565 and 3334hidG2928 Himself from them. 37But though He had performedG4160 soG5118 manyG5118 35signsG4592 beforeG1715 them, yet they were not believingG4100 in Him. 38This was to fulfillG4137 the wordG3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396 whichG3739 he spokeG3004: “36LordG2962, whoG5101 has believedG4100 our reportG189? And to whomG5101 has the armG1023 of the LordG2962 been revealedG601?” 39For thisG3778 reasonG1223 they couldG1410 not believeG4100, for IsaiahG2268 saidG3004 againG3825, 40“37He has blindedG5186 their eyesG3788 and He 38hardenedG4456 their heartG2588, soG2443G3361 that they would not seeG3708 with their eyesG3788 and perceiveG3539 with their heartG2588, and 39be convertedG4762 and I healG2390 them.” 41TheseG3778 thingsG3778 IsaiahG2268 saidG3004 becauseG3754 40he sawG3708 His gloryG1391, and 41he spokeG2980 of Him. 42NeverthelessG3676G3305 42manyG4183 evenG2532 of 43the rulersG758 believedG4100 in Him, but 44becauseG1223 of the PhariseesG5330 they were not confessingG3670 Him, for fearG2443G3361 that they would be 4546putG656 out of the synagogueG656; 4347for they lovedG25 the 48approvalG1391 of menG444 ratherG3123 thanG2228 the 49approvalG1391 of GodG2316.

44And JesusG2424 criedG2896 out and saidG3004, “50He who believesG4100 in Me, does not believeG4100 in Me but in Him who sentG3992 Me. 4551He who seesG2334 Me seesG2334 the One who sentG3992 Me. 4652I have comeG2064 as LightG5457 into the worldG2889, soG2443 that everyoneG3956 who believesG4100 in Me will not remainG3306 in darknessG4653. 47IfG1437 anyoneG5100 hearsG191 My sayingsG4487 and does not keepG5442 them, I do not judgeG2919 him; for 53I did not comeG2064 to judgeG2919 the worldG2889, but to saveG4982 the worldG2889. 4854He who rejectsG114 Me and does not receiveG2983 My sayingsG4487, hasG2192 one who judgesG2919 him; 55the wordG3056 I spokeG2980 is whatG1565 will judgeG2919 him at 56the lastG2078 dayG2250. 4957For I did not speakG2980 58on My ownG1683 initiativeG1683, but the FatherG3962 HimselfG846 who sentG3992 Me 59has givenG1325 Me a commandmentG1785 as to whatG5101 to sayG3004 and whatG5101 to speakG2980. 50I knowG3609 that 60His commandmentG1785 is eternalG166 lifeG2222; thereforeG3767 the things I speakG2980, I speakG2980 61justG2531 as the FatherG3962 has toldG3004 Me.”
