John 12:20-36

20Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast.

21These came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in the Galilee. “Sir,” they said, “we want to see Yeshua.”

22Philip comes and tells Andrew; Andrew and Philip come and tell Yeshua.

23Yeshua answers them, saying, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified!

24Amen, amen I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces much fruit.

25He who loves his life will lose it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it forever.

26If any man serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there also will My servant be. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

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

28Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came out of heaven, “I have glorified it, and again I will glorify it!”

29Therefore the crowd that was standing there and heard it was saying that it had thundered. Others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

30Yeshua responded, “This voice hasn’t come for My sake, but for yours.

31Now is the judgment of this world! Now the prince of this world will be driven out!

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

33He said this to show the kind of death He was about to die.

34The crowd answered Him, “We’ve heard from Scripture that the Messiah remains forever. How can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

35Therefore Yeshua said to them, “The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

36While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may become sons of light.” Yeshua spoke these things, then left and hid Himself from them.
