John 12:20–43

20 And there were certain iGreeks among them kthat came up to worship lat the feast: 21 The same came therefore to mPhilip, which was of nBethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 22 Philip cometh and telleth mAndrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, saying, oThe hour is come, that the Son of man dshould be glorified. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, pExcept a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 qHe that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that rhateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and swhere I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, thim will my Father honour. 27 uNow is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? wFather, save me from xthis hour: but yfor this cause came I unto xthis hour. 28 wFather, glorify thy name. zThen came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. 30 Jesus answered and said, aThis voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 31 Now is bthe judgment of this world: now shall cthe prince of this world be dcast out. 32 And I, if I be elifted up from the earth, fwill draw gall men unto me. 33 hThis he said, isignifying what death he should die. 34 The people answered him, We have heard out of jthe law kthat Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be elifted up? who is this Son of man? 35 Then Jesus said unto them, lYet a little while is mthe light nwith you. oWalk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for phe that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be qthe children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and rdid hide himself from them.

37 But though he had done so many smiracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, twho hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 40 uHe hath blinded their eyes, and xhardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 41 These things said Esaias, ywhen he zsaw his glory, and spake of him. 42 Nevertheless among athe chief rulers also bmany believed on him; but cbecause of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest dthey should be put out of the synagogue: 43 For they loved ethe praise of men more than the praise of God.
