* Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast . * These , therefore , came to Philip , who was from Bethsaida of Galilee , and asked him , saying , "Sir , we want to see Jesus ." * Philip came and told Andrew , and in turn , Andrew came with Philip , and they told Jesus . * Jesus answered them , "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified . * Most certainly I tell you , unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies , it remains by itself alone . But if it dies , it bears much fruit . * He who loves his life will lose it . He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life . * If anyone serves me , let him follow me . Where I am , there will my servant also be . If anyone serves me , the Father will honor him . * "Now my soul is troubled . What shall I say ? 'Father , save me from this time ?' But for this cause I came to this time . * Father , glorify your name !" Then there came a voice out of the sky , saying , "I have both glorified it , and will glorify it again ." * The multitude therefore , who stood by and heard it , said that it had thundered . Others said , "An angel has spoken to him ." * Jesus answered , "This voice hasn 't come for my sake , but for your sakes . * Now is the judgment of this world . Now the prince of this world will be cast out . * And I , if I am lifted up from the earth , will draw all people to myself ." * But he said this , signifying by what kind of death he should die . * The multitude answered him , "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever . {Isaiah strkjv @9:7 ; Daniel strkjv @2:44 (but see also Isaiah strkjv @53:8 )} How do you say , 'The Son of Man must be lifted up ?' Who is this Son of Man ?" * Jesus therefore said to them , "Yet a little while the light is with you . Walk while you have the light , that darkness doesn 't overtake you . He who walks in the darkness doesn 't know where he is going . * While you have the light , believe in the light , that you may become children of light ." Jesus said these things , and he departed and hid himself from them .
