John 12:23-28

23Jesus replied, “Now the time has come for the Son of Man to enter into his glory.

24I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives.

25Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.

26Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.

27“Now my soul is deeply troubled. Should I pray, ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But this is the very reason I came!

28Father, bring glory to your name.” Then a voice spoke from heaven, saying, “I have already brought glory to my name, and I will do so again.”
