Greeks Seek Jesus; He Predicts His Death

John 12:20-36
20Now some Greeks were among those ascending in order that they might worship at the festival. 21These therefore came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus. 22Philip came and told Andrew; Andrew came, and Philip, and they told Jesus. 23Then Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come that the Son of Man may be glorified." 24Truly truly I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, the father will honor him. 27Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. Yet for this purpose I came to this hour. 28Father, glorify your name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again. 29The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it was thunder; others said that an angel had spoken to him. 30Jesus answered and said, This voice has not come for my sake but for yours. 31Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all to myself. 33He said this to indicate the kind of death he was going to die. 34The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever, and how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?" 35Jesus said to them, The light is with you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you. Whoever walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light. After Jesus had spoken these words, he departed and hid himself from them.
