John 12:20–36
20 Now there were some aGreeks among those who were going up to worship at bthe feast;
21 these then came to aPhilip, who was from bBethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
22 Philip * came and * told aAndrew; Andrew and Philip * came and * told Jesus.
23 And Jesus * answered them, saying, “aThe hour has come for the Son of Man to bbe glorified.
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, aunless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 “aHe who loves his 1life loses it, and he who bhates his 1life in this world will keep it to life eternal.
26 “If anyone 1serves Me, he must follow Me; and awhere I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone 1serves Me, the Father will bhonor him.
27 “aNow My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘bFather, save Me from cthis hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.
28 “aFather, glorify Your name.” Then a bvoice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
29 So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “aAn angel has spoken to Him.”
30 Jesus answered and said, “aThis voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.
31 “aNow judgment is upon this world; now bthe ruler of this world will be cast out.
32 “And I, if I aam lifted up from the earth, will bdraw all men to Myself.”
33 But He was saying this ato indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.
34 The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard out of athe Law that 1bthe Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, ‘The cSon of Man must be dlifted up’? Who is this cSon of Man?”
35 So Jesus said to them, “aFor a little while longer bthe Light is among you. cWalk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who dwalks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
36 “While you have the Light, abelieve in the Light, so that you may become bsons of Light.”
These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and 1chid Himself from them.

| * | A star (*) is used to mark verbs that are historical presents in the Greek which have been translated with an English past tense in order to conform to modern usage. The translators recognized that in some contexts the present tense seems more unexpected and unjustified to the English reader than a past tense would have been. But Greek authors frequently used the present tense for the sake of heightened vividness, thereby transporting their readers in imagination to the actual scene at the time of occurence. However, the translators felt that it would be wise to change these historical presents to English past tenses. |
