²⁰Now some Greeks were among those who went up to worship at the festival. ²¹So they came to Philip,^ak who was from Bethsaida^al in Galilee,^am and requested of him, “Sir,^an we want to see Jesus.” ²²Philip went and told Andrew;^ao then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

²³Jesus replied to them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man^ap to be glorified. ²⁴Truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat^aq falls to the ground and dies, it remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces much fruit.^a ²⁵The one who loves his life will lose it,^b and the one who hates^c his life^d in this world will keep it for eternal life. ²⁶If anyone serves me, he must follow me. Where I am, there my servant^e also will be.^f If anyone serves me, the Father will honor^g him.

²⁷“Now my soul is troubled. What should I say—Father, save me^h from this hour? But that is why I came to this hour. ²⁸Father, glorify your name.”^Aⁱ

Then a voice^j came from heaven:^k “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”^l

²⁹The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

³⁰Jesus responded, “This voice came, not for me, but for you.^m ³¹Now is the judgment of this world.ⁿ Now the ruler of this world^o will be cast out.^p ³²As for me, if I am lifted up from the earth I will draw all people to myself.”^q ³³He said this to indicate what kind of death he was about to die.^r

³⁴Then the crowd replied to him, “We have heard from the law that the Messiah will remain forever.^s So how can you say, ‘The Son of Man^t must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

³⁵Jesus answered, “The light will be with you only a little longer.^u Walk while you have the light^v so that darkness doesn’t overtake you.^w The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.^x ³⁶While you have the light,^y believe in the light so that you may become children of light.” Jesus said this, then went away and hid from them.^z
