Greeks Seek Jesus; The Hour Has Come

John 12:20-36

Greeks Seek Jesus; The Hour Has Come

20
Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.
21
These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.
22
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

A Grain of Wheat

23
But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.
24
Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,
25
Itself remaineth alone. But if it die it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it and he that hateth his life in this world keepeth it unto life eternal.
26
If any man minister to me, let him follow me: and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour.
27
Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour.
28
Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.
29
The multitude therefore that stood and heard said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.
30
Jesus answered and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31
Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself.
33
(Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)
34
The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever. And how sayest thou: The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?
35
Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, and the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither be goeth.
36
Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke: and he went away and hid himself from them.
