John 12:20-50

20AndG1161 there wereG1510 certainG5100 GreeksG1672 amongG1537 them that came upG305 to worshipG4352 atG1722 the feastG3588G1859: 21The sameG3778 cameG4334 thereforeG3767 to PhilipG5376, which was ofG575 BethsaidaG966 of GalileeG3588G1056, andG2532 desiredG2065 himG846, sayingG3004, SirG2962, we wouldG2309 seeG3708 JesusG3588G2424. 22PhilipG5376 comethG2064 andG2532 tellethG3004 AndrewG3588G406: andG2532 againG3825 AndrewG406 andG2532 PhilipG5376 tellG3004 JesusG3588G2424.

23AndG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846, sayingG3004, The hourG3588G5610 is comeG2064, thatG2443 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 should be glorifiedG1392. 24VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ExceptG1437 a grainG3588G2848 of wheatG3588G4621 fallG4098 intoG1519 the groundG3588G1093 and dieG599, itG846 abidethG3306 aloneG3441: butG1161 ifG1437 it dieG599, it bringeth forthG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590. 25He that lovethG5368 hisG846 lifeG3588G5590 shall loseG622 itG846; andG2532 he that hatethG3404 hisG846 lifeG3588G5590 inG1722 thisG3778 worldG3588G2889 shall keepG5442 itG846 untoG1519 lifeG2222 eternalG166. 26IfG1437 any manG5100 serveG1247 meG1473, let him followG190 meG1473; andG2532 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, thereG1563 shallG1510 alsoG2532 myG1699 servantG3588G1249 beG1510: ifG1437 any manG5100 serveG1247 meG1473, himG846 willG5091 my FatherG3588G3962 honourG5091. 27NowG3568 isG5015 myG1473 soulG3588G5590 troubledG5015; andG2532 whatG5101 shall I sayG3004? FatherG3962, saveG4982 meG1473 fromG1537 thisG3778 hourG3588G5610: butG235 forG1223 thisG3778 causeG1223 came IG2064 untoG1519 thisG3778 hourG3588G5610. 28FatherG3962, glorifyG1392 thyG4771 nameG3588G3686. ThenG3767 came thereG2064 a voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3588G3772, saying, I haveG1392 bothG2532 glorifiedG1392 it, andG2532 will glorifyG1392 it againG3825. 29The peopleG3588G3793 thereforeG3767, that stood byG3588G2476, andG2532 heardG191 it, said thatG3004 it thunderedG1027G1096: othersG243 saidG3004, An angelG32 spakeG2980 to himG846. 30JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004, ThisG3778 voiceG3588G5456 cameG1096 notG3756 becauseG1223 of meG1473, butG235 forG1223 yourG4771 sakesG1223. 31NowG3568 isG1510 the judgmentG2920 ofG3588G2889 thisG3778 worldG3588G2889: nowG3568 shallG1544 the princeG3588G758 ofG3588G2889 thisG3778 worldG3588G2889 be castG1544 outG1854. 32And IG2504, ifG1437 I be lifted upG5312 fromG1537 the earthG3588G1093, will drawG1670 allG3956 men untoG4314 meG1683. 33ThisG3778 he saidG3004, signifyingG4591 whatG4169 deathG2288 he shouldG3195 dieG599. 34The peopleG3588G3793 answeredG611 himG846, WeG1473 have heardG191 outG1537 of the lawG3588G3551 thatG3754 ChristG3588G5547 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG3588G165: andG2532 howG4459 sayestG3004 thouG4771, The SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 mustG1163 be lifted upG5312? whoG5101 isG1510 thisG3778 SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444? 35ThenG3767 JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004 unto themG846, YetG2089 a littleG3398 whileG5550 isG1510 the lightG3588G5457 withG3326 youG4771. WalkG4043 whileG2193 ye haveG2192 the lightG3588G5457, lestG2443 darknessG4653 come uponG2638 youG4771: forG2532 he that walkethG4043 inG1722 darknessG3588G4653 knowethG1492 notG3756 whitherG4226 he goethG5217. 36WhileG2193 ye haveG2192 lightG3588G5457, believeG4100 inG1519 the lightG3588G5457, thatG2443 ye may beG1096 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457. These thingsG3778 spakeG2980 JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 departedG565, and did hide himselfG2928 fromG575 themG846.

37ButG1161 thoughG4160 heG846 had doneG4160 so manyG5118 miraclesG4592 beforeG1715 themG846, yet they believedG4100 notG3756 onG1519 himG846: 38ThatG2443 the sayingG3588G3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG3588G4396 might be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 he spakeG3004, LordG2962, whoG5101 hath believedG4100 ourG1473 reportG3588G189? andG2532 to whomG5101 hathG601 the armG3588G1023 of the LordG2962 been revealedG601? 39ThereforeG1223 they couldG1410 notG3756 believeG4100, becauseG3754 thatG3778 IsaiahG2268 saidG3004 againG3825, 40He hath blindedG5186 theirG846 eyesG3588G3788, andG2532 hardenedG4456 theirG846 heartG3588G2588; thatG2443 they shouldG3708 notG3361 seeG3708 withG3588G3788 their eyesG3588G3788, norG2532 understandG3539 withG3588G2588 their heartG3588G2588, andG2532 be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846. 41These thingsG3778 saidG3004 IsaiahG2268, whenG3753 he sawG3708 hisG846 gloryG3588G1391, andG2532 spakeG2980 ofG4012 himG846.

42NeverthelessG3676 amongG1537 the chief rulersG3588G758 alsoG2532 manyG4183 believedG4100 onG1519 himG846; butG235 becauseG1223 of the PhariseesG3588G5330 they didG3670 notG3756 confessG3670 him, lestG2443 they should beG1096 put out of the synagogueG656: 43ForG1063 they lovedG25 the praiseG3588G1391 of menG3588G444 moreG3123 thanG2260 the praiseG3588G1391 of GodG3588G2316.

44JesusG2424 criedG2896 andG2532 saidG3004, He that believethG4100 onG1519 meG1473, believethG4100 notG3756 onG1519 meG1473, butG235 onG1519 him that sentG3992 meG1473. 45AndG2532 he that seethG2334 meG1473 seethG2334 him that sentG3992 meG1473. 46IG1473 am comeG2064 a lightG5457 intoG1519 the worldG3588G2889, thatG2443 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1519 meG1473 shouldG3306 notG3361 abideG3306 inG1722 darknessG3588G4653. 47AndG2532 ifG1437 any manG5100 hearG191 myG1473 wordsG3588G4487, andG2532 believeG4100 notG3361, IG1473 judgeG2919 himG846 notG3756: forG1063 I cameG2064 notG3756 toG2443 judgeG2919 the worldG3588G2889, butG235 toG2443 saveG4982 the worldG3588G2889. 48He that rejectethG114 meG1473, andG2532 receivethG2983 notG3361 myG1473 wordsG3588G4487, hathG2192 one that judgethG2919 himG846: the wordG3588G3056 thatG3739 I have spokenG2980, the sameG1565 shall judgeG2919 himG846 inG1722 the lastG2078 dayG2250. 49ForG3754 IG1473 haveG2980 notG3756 spokenG2980 ofG1537 myselfG1683; butG235 the FatherG3962 which sentG3992 meG1473, heG846 gaveG1325 meG1473 a commandmentG1785, whatG5101 I should sayG3004, andG2532 whatG5101 I should speakG2980. 50AndG2532 I knowG1492 thatG3754 hisG846 commandmentG3588G1785 isG1510 lifeG2222 everlastingG166: whatsoeverG3739 IG1473 speakG2980 thereforeG3767, even asG2531 the FatherG3588G3962 saidG2046 unto meG1473, soG3779 I speakG2980.
