23 But Jesus *answered them by saying, (A)The hour has come for the Son of Man to (B)be glorified. 24 Truly, truly I say to you, (C)unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 (D)The one who loves his [a]life loses it, and the one who (E)hates his [b]life in this world will keep it [c]to eternal life. 26 If anyone [d]serves Me, he must follow Me; and (F)where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone [e]serves Me, the Father will (G)honor him.

Jesus Foretells His Death

27 (H)Now My soul has become troubled; and what am I to say? ‘(I)Father, save Me from (J)this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 (K)Father, glorify Your name.” Then a (L)voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
