The Messiah Teaches

23 But Jesus answered them, saying, w“The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. 24 Most assuredly, I say to you, xunless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much 4grain. 25 yHe who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves Me, let him zfollow Me; and awhere I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

27 b“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? cBut for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify Your name.”

dThen a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

29 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

30 Jesus answered and said, e“This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. 31 Now is the judgment of this world; now fthe ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, gif I am 5lifted up from the earth, will draw hall peoples to Myself.” 33 iThis He said, signifying by what death He would die.

34 The people answered Him, j“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?”

35 Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer kthe light is with you. lWalk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; mhe who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become nsons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and owas hidden from them.
