John 12:20-26
20Now there were some 1Greeks among those who were going up to worship at 2the feast; 21these people then came to 3Philip, who was from 4Bethsaida of Galilee, and were making a request of him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22Philip came and told 5Andrew; then Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus. 23But Jesus answered them by saying, “6The hour has come for the Son of Man to 7be glorified. 24Truly, truly I say to you, 8unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 259The one who loves his 10life loses it, and the one who 11hates his 12life in this world will keep it 13to eternal life. 26If anyone 14serves Me, he must follow Me; and 15where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone 16serves Me, the Father will 17honor him.
