* And there were some Greeks among those coming up , so that they might worship at the feast . * Then they approached Philip , who was from Bethsaida of Galilee , and they asked him , saying , "Sir , we wish to see Jesus ." * Philip came and told Andrew , and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus . * But Jesus answered them , saying , "The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified . * Most assuredly I say to you , unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies , it remains alone ; but if it dies , it bears much fruit . * He that loves his life shall lose it , and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it for eternal life . * And if anyone serve Me , let him follow Me ; and where I am , there My servant shall be also . If anyone serve Me , him My Father will honor . * "Now My soul has been troubled , and what shall I say ? 'Father , save Me from this hour '? But for this reason I came to this hour . * Father , glorify Your name ."Then a voice came out of heaven , saying , "I have both glorified it and will glorify [it ] again ." * Therefore the crowd which was standing and heard were saying that it had thundered . Others were saying , "An angel has spoken to Him ." * Jesus answered and said , "This voice did not come for My sake , but for your sake . * Now is the judgment of this world ; now the ruler of this world shall be cast out . * And I , if I be lifted up from the earth , will draw all [peoples ] to Myself ." * This He said , signifying by what kind of death He was about to die . * The crowd answered Him , "We heard from the law that the Christ abides forever ; and so how do You say , 'The Son of Man must be lifted up '? Who is this Son of Man ?" * Then Jesus said to them , "[For ] yet a little while longer the light is with you . Walk while you have the light , lest darkness overtake you ; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going . * While you have the light , believe in the light , so that you may become sons of light ."These things Jesus spoke , and departing , He was hidden from them .
