John 12:20-36

Some Greeks Seek Jesus

20 Now there were some (A)Greeks among those who were going up to worship at (B)the feast; 21 these then came to (C)Philip, who was from (D)Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip *came and *told (E)Andrew; Andrew and Philip *came and *told Jesus. 23 And Jesus *answered them, saying, “(F)The hour has come for the Son of Man to (G)be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (H)unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 (I)He who loves his [a]life loses it, and he who (J)hates his [b]life in this world will keep it to life eternal. 26 If anyone [c]serves Me, he must follow Me; and (K)where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone [d]serves Me, the Father will (L)honor him.

The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up

27 “(M)Now (N)My soul has become dismayed; and what shall I say, ‘(O)Father, (P)save Me from (Q)this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 (R)Father, glorify Your name.” Then a (S)voice came from heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “(T)An angel has spoken to Him.” 30 Jesus answered and said, “(U)This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sake. 31 (V)Now judgment is upon this world; now (W)the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, if I (X)am lifted up from the earth, will (Y)draw all men to Myself.” 33 But He was saying this (Z)to indicate the kind of death by which He was about to die. 34 The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard from (AA)the Law that (AB)the [e]Christ is to remain forever; and how do You say, ‘The (AC)Son of Man must be (AD)lifted up’? Who is this (AE)Son of Man?” 35 So Jesus said to them, “(AF)For a little while longer (AG)the Light is among you. (AH)Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who (AI)walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. 36 While you have the Light, (AJ)believe in the Light, so that you may become (AK)sons of Light.”

These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and [f](AL)hid Himself from them.

John 12:20-36
American Standard Version

20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast: 21 these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus. 23 And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his [a]life loseth it; and he that hateth his [b]life in this world shall keep it unto [c]life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor. 27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this [d]hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 29 The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him. 30 Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, but for your sakes. 31 Now is [e]the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifted up [f]from the earth, will draw all men unto myself. 33 But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die. 34 The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? 35 Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light [g]among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light.

These things spake Jesus, and he departed and [h]hid himself from them.
