20 And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast, 21these then came near to Philip, who is from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, ‘Sir, we wish to see Jesus;’ 22Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. 23And Jesus responded to them, saying, ‘The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified; 24verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit; 25he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world—to life age-during shall keep it; 26if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me—honour him will the Father.

27 ‘Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say—Father, save me from this hour?—but because of this I came to this hour; 28Father, glorify Thy name.’ There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, ‘I both glorified, and again I will glorify it;’ 29the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, ‘A messenger hath spoken to him.’ 30Jesus answered and said, ‘Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you; 31now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth; 32and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.’ 33And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die; 34the multitude answered him, ‘We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain—to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this—the Son of Man?’ 35Jesus, therefore, said to them, ‘Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth; 36while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.’ These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them.

37 Yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him, 38that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, ‘Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord—to whom was it revealed?’ 39Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said, 40‘He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;’ 41these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

42 Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue, 43for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
