Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the
feast: these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee,
and asked him, saying, "Sir, we would see Jesus."
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they
tell Jesus.
And Jesus answereth them, saying, "The hour is come, that the Son of man
should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of
wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it
die, it beareth much fruit. He that loveth his life loseth 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 the Father honor. 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."
There came therefore a voice out of heaven, saying, "I have both
glorified it, and will glorify it again."
The multitude, therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had
thundered: others said, "An angel hath spoken to him."
Jesus answered and said, "This voice hath not come for my sake, 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 myself."
But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
The multitude therefore answered him, "We have heard out of the law that
the Christ abideth forever: and how sayest thou, 'The Son of man must be
lifted up'? who is this Son of man?"
Jesus therefore said unto them, "Yet a little while is the light among
you. Walk while ye have the light that darkness overtake you not: and he
that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye
have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light."
These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them.
