John:12:20-36
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast .
*
Then they came to Philip ,
who was from Bethsaida of Galilee ,
and 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 produces much grain .
*
He who loves his life will lose it ,
and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life .
*
If anyone serves Me ,
let him follow Me ;
and where I am ,
there My servant will be also .
If anyone serves Me ,
him My Father will honor .
* "
Now My soul is troubled ,
and what shall I say ? "
Father ,
save Me from this hour '?
But for this purpose I came to this hour .
*
Father ,
glorify Your name ."
Then a voice came from heaven ,
saying , "
I have both glorified it and will glorify it again ."
*
Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered .
Others said , "
An angel has spoken to Him ."
*
Jesus answered and said , "
This voice did not come because of Me ,
but for your sake .
*
Now is the judgment of this world ;
now the ruler of this world will be cast out .
*
And I ,
if I am lifted up from the earth ,
will draw all peoples to Myself ."
*
This He said ,
signifying by what death He would die .
*
The people answered Him , "
We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever ;
and how can You say , "
The Son of Man must be lifted up '?
Who is this Son of Man ?"
*
Then Jesus said to them , "
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 ,
that you may become sons of light ."
These things Jesus spoke ,
and departed ,
and was hidden from them .
