John 12:19-26
New Living Translation
19 Then the Pharisees said to each other, “There’s nothing we can do. Look, everyone[a] has gone after him!”
Jesus Predicts His Death
20 Some Greeks who had come to Jerusalem for the Passover celebration 21 paid a visit to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee. They said, “Sir, we want to meet Jesus.” 22 Philip told Andrew about it, and they went together to ask Jesus.
23 Jesus replied, “Now the time has come for the Son of Man[b] to enter into his glory. 24 I 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. 25 Those 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. 26 Anyone 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.

19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”(A)
Jesus Predicts His Death
20 Now there were some Greeks(B) among those who went up to worship at the festival. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida(C) in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.
23 Jesus replied, “The hour(D) has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.(E) 24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies,(F) it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it(G) for eternal life.(H) 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.(I) My Father will honor the one who serves me.
Isaiah 53:4-12
New Living Translation
Isaiah 53:4-12
New Living Translation
4 Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;
it was our sorrows[a] that weighed him down.
And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,
a punishment for his own sins!
5 But he was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.
6 All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
Yet the Lord laid on him
the sins of us all.
7 He was oppressed and treated harshly,
yet he never said a word.
He was led like a lamb to the slaughter.
And as a sheep is silent before the shearers,
he did not open his mouth.
8 Unjustly condemned,
he was led away.[b]
No one cared that he died without descendants,
that his life was cut short in midstream.[c]
But he was struck down
for the rebellion of my people.
9 He had done no wrong
and had never deceived anyone.
But he was buried like a criminal;
he was put in a rich man’s grave.
10 But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him
and cause him grief.
Yet when his life is made an offering for sin,
he will have many descendants.
He will enjoy a long life,
and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands.
11 When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish,
he will be satisfied.
And because of his experience,
my righteous servant will make it possible
for many to be counted righteous,
for he will bear all their sins.
12 I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier,
because he exposed himself to death.
He was counted among the rebels.
He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.

Isaiah 53:4-12
New International Version
Isaiah 53:4-12
New International Version
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,(A)
yet we considered him punished by God,(B)
stricken by him, and afflicted.(C)
5 But he was pierced(D) for our transgressions,(E)
he was crushed(F) for our iniquities;
the punishment(G) that brought us peace(H) was on him,
and by his wounds(I) we are healed.(J)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,(K)
each of us has turned to our own way;(L)
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity(M) of us all.
7 He was oppressed(N) and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;(O)
he was led like a lamb(P) to the slaughter,(Q)
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and judgment(R) he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;(S)
for the transgression(T) of my people he was punished.[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,(U)
and with the rich(V) in his death,
though he had done no violence,(W)
nor was any deceit in his mouth.(X)
10 Yet it was the Lord’s will(Y) to crush(Z) him and cause him to suffer,(AA)
and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,(AB)
he will see his offspring(AC) and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper(AD) in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,(AE)
he will see the light(AF) of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant(AG) will justify(AH) many,
and he will bear their iniquities.(AI)
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[g](AJ)
and he will divide the spoils(AK) with the strong,[h]
because he poured out his life unto death,(AL)
and was numbered with the transgressors.(AM)
For he bore(AN) the sin of many,(AO)
and made intercession(AP) for the transgressors.
