John 12:23–32

²³And Jesus answered them, ⁱ“The hour has come ^jfor the Son of Man to be glorified. ²⁴Truly, truly, I say to you, ^kunless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. ^25lWhoever loves his life loses it, and ^mwhoever ⁿhates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. ²⁶If anyone serves me, he must ^ofollow me; and ^pwhere I am, there will my servant be also. ^qIf anyone serves me, ^rthe Father will honor him.

The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up

^27s“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, ^tsave me from ^uthis hour’? But ^vfor this purpose I have come to ^uthis hour. ²⁸Father, glorify your name.” Then ^wa voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” ²⁹The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, ^x“An angel has spoken to him.” ³⁰Jesus answered, ^y“This voice has come for your sake, not mine. ^31zNow is the judgment of this world; now will ^athe ruler of this world ^bbe cast out. ³²And I, ^cwhen I am lifted up from the earth, ^dwill draw ^eall people to myself.”
