[18 ](/kjv/john/12/18) For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. [19 ](/kjv/john/12/19) The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. [20 ](/kjv/john/12/20) ¶ And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: [21 ](/kjv/john/12/21) The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. [22 ](/kjv/john/12/22) Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. [23 ](/kjv/john/12/23) ¶ And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. [24 ](/kjv/john/12/24) Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. [25 ](/kjv/john/12/25) He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. [26 ](/kjv/john/12/26) If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will *my* Father honour. [27 ](/kjv/john/12/27) Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. [28 ](/kjv/john/12/28) Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, *saying*, I have both glorified *it*, and will glorify *it* again. [29 ](/kjv/john/12/29) The people therefore, that stood by, and heard *it*, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. [30 ](/kjv/john/12/30) Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. [31 ](/kjv/john/12/31) Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. [32 ](/kjv/john/12/32) And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all *men* unto me. [33 ](/kjv/john/12/33) This he said, signifying what death he should die. [34 ](/kjv/john/12/34) The people 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 ](/kjv/john/12/35) Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. [36 ](/kjv/john/12/36) While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
