“What has this concern of yours to do with Me, woman?” Jesus asked. “My hour has not yet come.”

Jesus told her, “Believe Me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship Him.

The father realized this was the very hour at which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” Then he himself believed, along with his whole household.

“I assure you: An hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

Then they tried to seize Him. Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.

He spoke these words by the treasury, while teaching in the temple complex. But no one seized Him, because His hour had not come.

“Aren’t there 12 hours in a day?” Jesus answered. “If anyone walks during the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

Jesus replied to them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

“Now My soul is troubled. What should I say—Father, save Me from this hour? But that is why I came to this hour.

Look: An hour is coming, and has come, when each of you will be scattered to his own home, and you will leave Me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

Jesus Prays for Himself

Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
