²⁰Some Greeks were among those who came to worship during the Passover festival. ²¹They went to Philip (who was from Bethsaida in Galilee) and told him, “Sir, we would like to meet Jesus.” ²²Philip told Andrew, and they told Jesus.

²³Jesus replied to them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. ²⁴I can guarantee this truth: A single grain of wheat doesn’t produce anything unless it is planted in the ground and dies. If it dies, it will produce a lot of grain. ²⁵Those who love their lives will destroy them, and those who hate their lives in this world will guard them for everlasting life. ²⁶Those who serve me must follow me. My servants will be with me wherever I will be. If people serve me, the Father will honor them.

²⁷“I am too deeply troubled now to know how to express my feelings. Should I say, ‘Father, save me from this time ⸤of suffering⸥’? No! I came for this time of suffering. ²⁸Father, give glory to your name.”

A voice from heaven said, “I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again.”

²⁹The crowd standing there heard the voice and said that it had thundered. Others in the crowd said that an angel had talked to him. ³⁰Jesus replied, “That voice wasn’t for my benefit but for yours.

³¹“This world is being judged now. The ruler of this world will be thrown out now. ³²When I have been lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people toward me.” ³³By saying this, he indicated how he was going to die.
