John 12:23–32

²³And 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 life 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 serves Me, the Father will ^bhonor him.

Jesus Foretells His Death

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.”

²⁹So 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.”

³⁰Jesus 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.”
