The Mystery of Time
3 There is an occasion for everything,
and a time for every activity under heaven:(A)
2 a time to give birth and a time to die;(B)
a time to plant and a time to uproot;[a]

a time to mourn and a time to dance;(D)
5 a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;(E)
a time to embrace and a time to avoid embracing;(F)

a time to be silent and a time to speak;(G)
8 a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.(H)
27 “Now my soul is troubled. What should I say—Father, save me(A) from this hour? But that is why I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.”[a](B)
Then a voice(C) came from heaven: (D) “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”(E)
29 The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30 Jesus responded, “This voice came, not for me, but for you.(F) 31 Now is the judgment of this world.(G) Now the ruler of this world(H) will be cast out.(I) 32 As for me, if I am lifted up[b] from the earth I will draw all people to myself.”(J) 33 He said this to indicate what kind of death he was about to die.(K)
34 Then the crowd replied to him, “We have heard from the law that the Messiah will remain forever.(L) So how can you say, ‘The Son of Man(M) must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 Jesus answered, “The light will be with you only a little longer.(N) Walk while you have the light(O) so that darkness doesn’t overtake you.(P) The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.(Q) 36 While you have the light,(R) believe in the light so that you may become children of light.” Jesus said this, then went away and hid from them.(S)
