John 12:17-28
English Standard Version
17 (A)The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. 18 The reason why the crowd went to meet him (B)was that they heard he had done this sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, (C)“You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, (D)the world has gone after him.”
Some Greeks Seek Jesus
20 Now (E)among those who went up to worship at the feast were some (F)Greeks. 21 So these came to (G)Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told (H)Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, (I)“The hour has come (J)for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (K)unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 (L)Whoever loves his life loses it, and (M)whoever (N)hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must (O)follow me; and (P)where I am, there will my servant be also. (Q)If anyone serves me, (R)the Father will honor him.
The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
27 (S)“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, (T)save me from (U)this hour’? But (V)for this purpose I have come to (W)this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then (X)a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

New International Version
17 Now the crowd that was with him(A) when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. 18 Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign,(B) went out to meet him. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”(C)
Jesus Predicts His Death
20 Now there were some Greeks(D) among those who went up to worship at the festival. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida(E) in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.
23 Jesus replied, “The hour(F) has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.(G) 24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies,(H) it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it(I) for eternal life.(J) 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.(K) My Father will honor the one who serves me.
27 “Now my soul is troubled,(L) and what shall I say? ‘Father,(M) save me from this hour’?(N) No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!”
Then a voice came from heaven,(O) “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

John 12:17-28
King James Version
17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
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 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
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 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 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
