John 12:20-50

20NowG1161 thereG1563 were someG5100 1GreeksG1672 amongG1537 thoseG3588 who were goingG305 upG305 to worshipG4352 at 2the feastG1859; 21theseG3778 people thenG3767 cameG4334 to 3PhilipG5376, whoG3588 was from 4BethsaidaG966 of GalileeG1056, and were makingG2065 aG2065 requestG2065 of him, sayingG3004, “SirG2962, we wishG2309 to seeG3708 JesusG2424.” 22PhilipG5376 cameG2064 and toldG3004 5AndrewG406; then AndrewG406 and PhilipG5376 cameG2064 and toldG3004 JesusG2424. 23But JesusG2424 answeredG611 them by 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. 259The one who lovesG5368 his 10lifeG5590 losesG622 it, and the one who 11hatesG3404 his 12lifeG5590 in thisG3778 worldG2889 will keepG5442 it 13to eternalG166 lifeG2222. 26IfG1437 anyoneG5100 14servesG1247 Me, he must followG190 Me; and 15whereG3699 I amG1510, thereG1563 My servantG1249 will be alsoG2532; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 16servesG1247 Me, the FatherG3962 will 17honorG5091 him.

27“18NowG3568 My soulG5590 has become troubledG5015; and whatG5101 am I to sayG3004? ‘19FatherG3962, saveG4982 Me from 20thisG3778 hourG5610’? But for thisG3778 purpose I cameG2064 to thisG3778 hourG5610. 2821FatherG3962, glorifyG1392 Your nameG3686.” ThenG3767 a 22voiceG5456 cameG2064 out of heavenG3772: “I have bothG2532 glorifiedG1392 it, and will glorifyG1392 it againG3825.” 29SoG3767 the crowdG3793 who stoodG2476 by and heardG191 it were sayingG3004 that it had thunderedG1027G1096; othersG243 were sayingG3004, “23An angelG32 has spokenG2980 to Him!” 30JesusG2424 respondedG611 and saidG3004, “24ThisG3778 voiceG5456 has not comeG1096 for My sakeG1223, but for yours. 3125NowG3568 judgmentG2920 is upon thisG3778 worldG2889; nowG3568 26the rulerG758 of thisG3778 worldG2889 will be castG1544 outG1544. 32And I, ifG1437 I 27am liftedG5312 upG5312 from the earthG1093, will 28drawG1670 allG3956 people to MyselfG1683.” 33NowG1161 He was sayingG3004 thisG3778 29to indicateG4591 whatG4169 kindG4169 of deathG2288 He wasG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 dieG599. 34The crowdG3793 thenG3767 answeredG611 Him, “We have heardG191 from 30the LawG3551 that 31the 32ChristG5547 is to remainG3306 foreverG165; and howG4459 is it that You sayG3004, ‘The 33SonG5207 of ManG444 mustG1163 be 34liftedG5312 up’? WhoG5101 is thisG3778 35SonG5207 of ManG444?” 35SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “36For a littleG3398 whileG5550 longerG2089 37the LightG5457 is amongG1722 you. 38WalkG4043 whileG5613 you haveG2192 the LightG5457, soG2443 thatG2443 darknessG4653 will not overtakeG2638 you; alsoG2532, the one who 39walksG4043 in the darknessG4653 does not knowG3609 whereG4226 he is goingG5217. 36WhileG5613 you haveG2192 the LightG5457, 40believeG4100 in the LightG5457, soG2443 thatG2443 you may becomeG1096 41sonsG5207 of LightG5457.”

TheseG3778 thingsG3778 JesusG2424 proclaimedG2980, and He wentG565 awayG565 and 42hidG2928 Himself from them. 37But though He had performedG4160 soG5118 manyG5118 43signsG4592 inG1715 their sightG1715, they still were not believingG4100 in Him. 38This happened soG2443 thatG2443 the wordG3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396 whichG3739 he spokeG3004 would be fulfilledG4137: “44LordG2962, 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“45He has blindedG5186 their eyesG3788 and He 46hardenedG4456 their heartG2588, soG2443 thatG2443 they will not seeG3708 with their eyesG3788 and understandG3539 with their heartG2588, and 47be convertedG4762, and so I will not healG2390 them.” 41TheseG3778 thingsG3778 IsaiahG2268 saidG3004 becauseG3754 48he sawG3708 His gloryG1391, and 49he spokeG2980 aboutG4012 Him. 42NeverthelessG3676G3305 50manyG4183, evenG2532 of 51the rulersG758, believedG4100 in Him, but 52becauseG1223 of the PhariseesG5330 they were not confessingG3670 Him, soG2443 thatG2443 they would not be 53excommunicatedG1096G656 fromG656 theG656 synagogueG656; 4354for they lovedG25 the 55approvalG1391 of peopleG444 ratherG3123 thanG2228 the 56approvalG1391 of GodG2316.

44NowG1161 JesusG2424 criedG2896 outG2896 and saidG3004, “57The one who believesG4100 in Me, does not believeG4100 only in Me, but also in Him who sentG3992 Me. 45And 58the one who seesG2334 Me seesG2334 Him who sentG3992 Me. 4659I have comeG2064 as LightG5457 into the worldG2889, soG2443 thatG2443 noG3361G3956 oneG3956 who believesG4100 in Me will remainG3306 in darknessG4653. 47IfG1437 anyoneG5100 hearsG191 My 60teachingsG4487 and does not keepG5442 them, I do not judgeG2919 him; for 61I did not comeG2064 to judgeG2919 the worldG2889, but to saveG4982 the worldG2889. 4862The one who rejectsG114 Me and does not 63acceptG2983 My 64teachingsG4487 hasG2192 one who judgesG2919 him: 65the wordG3056 whichG3739 I spokeG2980. That will judgeG2919 him on 66the lastG2078 dayG2250. 4967For I did not speakG2980 68on My ownG1683, but the FatherG3962 HimselfG846 who sentG3992 Me 69has givenG1325 Me a commandmentG1785 as to whatG5101 to sayG3004 and whatG5101 to speakG2980. 50And I knowG3609 that 70His commandmentG1785 is eternalG166 lifeG2222; thereforeG3767 the things I speakG2980, I speakG2980 71justG2531 asG2531 the FatherG3962 has toldG3004 Me.”
