²³ And Jesus answered them, ^(A)“The hour has come ^(B)for the Son of Man to be glorified. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(C)unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

^31 (A)And he began to teach them that ^(B)the Son of Man must ^(C)suffer many things and ^(D)be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and ^(E)after three days rise again.

³¹ for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, ^(A)after three days he will rise.” ^32 (B)But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

³⁴ And they will ^(A)mock him and ^(B)spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And ^(C)after three days he will rise.”

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

^31 (A)And taking the twelve, he said to them, “See, ^(B)we are going up to Jerusalem, and ^(C)everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. ³² For he will be ^(D)delivered over to the Gentiles and will be ^(E)mocked and shamefully treated and ^(F)spit upon. ³³ And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on ^(G)the third day he will rise.”

²⁶ The last enemy to be ^(A)destroyed is death.
