John 12:20-33

20Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.

21Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

22Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

23But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.

24Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.

25He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

26If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

27“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

28Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

29Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

30Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.

31Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

32And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”

33This He said, signifying by what death He would die.
