* And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast : * The same came therefore to Philip , which was of Bethsaida of Galilee , and desired him , saying , Sir , we would see Jesus . * Philip cometh and telleth Andrew : and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus . * And Jesus answered them , saying , The hour is come , that the Son of man should be glorified . * Verily , verily , I say unto you , Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die , it abideth alone : but if it die , it bringeth forth much fruit . * He that loveth his life shall lose it ; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal . * If any man serve me , let him follow me ; and where I am , there shall also my servant be : if any man serve me , him will my Father honour . * Now is my soul troubled ; and what shall I say ? Father , save me from this hour : but for this cause came I unto this hour . * Father , glorify thy name . Then came there a voice from heaven , saying , I have both glorified it , and will glorify it again . * The people therefore , that stood by , and heard it , said that it thundered : others said , An angel spake to him . * Jesus answered and said , This voice came not because of me , but for your sakes . * Now is the judgment of this world : now shall the prince of this world be cast out . * And I , if I be lifted up from the earth , will draw all men unto me . * This he said , signifying what death he should die . * The people answered him , We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever : and how sayest thou , The Son of man must be lifted up ? who is this Son of man ? * Then Jesus said unto them , Yet a little while is the light with you . Walk while ye have the light , lest darkness come upon you : for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth . * While ye have light , believe in the light , that ye may be the children of light . These things spake Jesus , and departed , and did hide himself from them . * But though he had done so many miracles before them , yet they believed not on him : * That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled , which he spake , Lord , who hath believed our report ? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed ? * Therefore they could not believe , because that Esaias said again , * He hath blinded their eyes , and hardened their heart ; that they should not see with their eyes , nor understand with their heart , and be converted , and I should heal them . * These things said Esaias , when he saw his glory , and spake of him . * Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him ; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him , lest they should be put out of the synagogue : * For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God . * Jesus cried and said , He that believeth on me , believeth not on me , but on him that sent me . * And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me . * I am come a light into the world , that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness . * And if any man hear my words , and believe not , I judge him not : for I came not to judge the world , but to save the world . * He that rejecteth me , and receiveth not my words , hath one that judgeth him : the word that I have spoken , the same shall judge him in the last day . * For I have not spoken of myself ; but the Father which sent me , he gave me a commandment , what I should say , and what I should speak . * And I know that his commandment is life everlasting : whatsoever I speak therefore , even as the Father said unto me , so I speak .
