John 12:20-42

20NowG1161 thereG1510 wereG1510 certainG5100 GreeksG1672 amongG1722 thoseG3588 thatG2443 wentG305 upG305 toG2443 worshipG4352 at theG3588 feastG1859:

21theseG3778 thereforeG3767 cameG4334 toG3004 PhilipG5376, whichG3588 was ofG575 BethsaidaG966 ofG575 GalileeG1056, andG2532 askedG2065 himG846, sayingG3004, SirG2962, weG3778 wouldG2962 seeG3708 JesusG2424.

22PhilipG5376 cometh andG2532 telleth AndrewG406: AndrewG406 cometh, andG2532 PhilipG5376, andG2532 theyG2532 tellG3004 JesusG2424.

23AndG1161 JesusG2424 answereth themG846, sayingG3004, TheG3588 hourG5610 is comeG2064, thatG2443 theG3588 SonG5207 ofG5207 manG444 shouldG2443 beG444 glorifiedG1392.

24Verily, verily, IG281 sayG3004 unto youG5210, ExceptG3361 a grainG2590 ofG1093 wheatG4621 fallG4098 intoG1519 theG3588 earthG1093 andG1161 dieG599, itG846 abideth byG3004 itselfG846 aloneG3441; butG1161 ifG1437 itG846 dieG599, itG846 beareth muchG4183 fruitG2590.

25HeG2532 thatG3778 loveth hisG846 lifeG2222 loseth itG846; andG2532 heG2532 thatG3778 hateth hisG846 lifeG2222 inG1722 thisG3778 worldG2889 shallG3778 keepG5442 itG846 unto lifeG2222 eternalG166.

26IfG1437 anyG5100 manG5100 serveG1247 meG1473, letG1510 himG846 followG190 meG1473; andG2532 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, thereG1563 shallG2532 alsoG2532 myG1699 servantG1249 beG1510: ifG1437 anyG5100 manG5100 serveG1247 meG1473, himG846 willG1510 theG3588 FatherG3962 honour.

27NowG3568 is myG3004 soulG5590 troubledG5015; andG2532 whatG5101 shallG3778 IG1473 sayG3004? FatherG3962, saveG4982 meG3004 fromG1537 thisG3778 hourG5610. ButG235 forG1519 thisG3778 cause cameG2064 IG1473 unto thisG3778 hourG5610.

28FatherG3962, glorifyG1392 thy nameG3686. ThereG3962 cameG2064 thereforeG3767 a voiceG5456 outG1537 ofG1537 heavenG3772, saying, IG2532 have bothG2532 glorifiedG1392 itG3825, andG2532 willG2532 glorifyG1392 itG3825 againG3825.

29TheG3588 multitudeG3793 thereforeG3767, thatG3004 stoodG2476 byG3004, andG2532 heardG191 itG846, saidG3004 thatG3004 itG846 had thunderedG1027: othersG243 saidG3004, AnG1096 angelG32 hath spokenG2980 toG3004 himG846.

30JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004, ThisG3778 voiceG5456 hath notG3756 comeG1096 forG1223 myG1096 sakeG1223, butG235 forG1223 yourG2532 sakesG1223.

31NowG3568 isG1510 theG3588 judgmentG2920 ofG3588 thisG3778 worldG2889: nowG3568 shallG3778 theG3588 princeG758 ofG3588 thisG3778 worldG2889 beG1510 castG1544 outG1854.

32AndG1093 IG1437, ifG1437 IG1437 beG3956 liftedG5312 up fromG1537 theG3956 earthG1093, willG3956 drawG1670 allG3956 menG3956 unto myselfG1683.

33ButG1161 thisG3778 heG3778 saidG3004, signifyingG4591 byG3004 whatG4169 manner ofG3004 deathG2288 heG3778 shouldG3778 dieG599.

34TheG3588 multitudeG3793 thereforeG3767 answeredG611 himG846, WeG2249 haveG1510 heardG191 outG1537 ofG5207 theG3588 lawG3551 thatG3754 theG3588 ChristG5547 abideth forG1519 everG165: andG2532 howG4459 sayest thou, TheG3588 SonG5207 ofG5207 manG444 must beG1510 liftedG5312 upG1210? whoG3588 isG1510 thisG3778 SonG5207 ofG5207 manG444?

35JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto themG846, YetG2532 a little whileG1722 isG1510 theG3588 lightG5457 amongG1722 youG5210. WalkG4043 whileG1722 ye have theG3588 lightG5457, thatG2443 darknessG4653 overtakeG2638 youG5210 notG3756: andG2532 heG2532 thatG2443 walketh inG1722 theG3588 darknessG4653 knoweth notG3756 whither heG2532 goeth.

36WhileG5613 ye have theG3588 lightG5457, believeG4100 onG1519 theG3588 lightG5457, thatG2443 ye mayG2532 becomeG1096 sonsG5207 ofG5207 lightG5457. TheseG3778 thingsG3778 spake JesusG2424, andG2532 heG2532 departedG565 andG2532 hidG2928 himselfG846 fromG575 themG846.

37ButG1161 thoughG1161 heG846 had doneG4160 soG1161 manyG5118 signsG4592 beforeG1715 themG846, yetG1161 theyG846 believedG4100 notG3756 onG1519 himG846:

38thatG3739 theG3588 wordG3056 ofG3056 IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396 mightG2532 beG2532 fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 heG2532 spake, LordG2962, whoG3739 hath believedG4100 ourG2532 reportG3056? AndG2532 toG2443 whomG3739 hath theG3588 armG1023 ofG3056 theG3588 LordG2962 beenG2532 revealedG601?

39ForG3754 thisG3778 cause theyG3754 couldG1410 notG3756 believeG4100, forG3754 thatG3754 IsaiahG2268 saidG3004 againG3825,

40HeG2532 hath blindedG5186 theirG846 eyesG3788, andG2532 heG2532 hardenedG4456 theirG846 heartG2588; LestG3361 theyG846 shouldG2443 seeG3708 withG2532 theirG846 eyesG3788, andG2532 perceiveG3708 withG2532 theirG846 heartG2588, AndG2532 shouldG2443 turnG4762, AndG2532 IG2532 shouldG2443 healG2390 themG846.

41TheseG3778 thingsG3778 saidG3004 IsaiahG2268, becauseG3754 heG2532 sawG3708 hisG846 gloryG1391; andG2532 heG2532 spake ofG1391 himG846.

42NeverthelessG235 evenG2532 ofG1537 theG3588 rulersG758 manyG4183 believedG4100 onG1519 himG846; butG235 becauseG1223 ofG1537 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 theyG846 didG1096 notG3756 confessG3670 itG846, lestG3361 theyG846 shouldG2443 beG1096 putG656 outG1537 ofG1537 theG3588 synagogueG656:
