John 12:20-42

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.

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.

37But even though He had performed so many signs before them, they weren’t trusting in Him.

38This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet, who said, “Adonai, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of Adonai been revealed?”

39For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah also said,

40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they might not see with their eyes nor understand with their hearts and turn back, and I would heal them.”

41Isaiah said these things because he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

42Nevertheless many, even among the leaders, put their trust in Him. But because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing Yeshua, so they would not be thrown out of the synagogue;
