sitting on a donkey's colt."
16 His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was
glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about
him and that they had done these things to him. 17 The crowd that had
been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him
from the dead bore witness. 18 For this reason the people went to meet
him, because they heard that he had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees then
said to one another, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look,
The world has gone after him!"
20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to
worship at the Feast. 21 Then they came to Philip, who was from
Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." 22
Philip went and told Andrew; and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be
glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into
the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much
fruit. 25 He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in
this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must
follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves
me, him my Father will honor.
27 "Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save
me from this hour'? No, for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father,
glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it,
and I will glorify it again." 29 The crowd standing by heard it and said
that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him." 30
Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. 31
Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be
cast out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men
to myself." 33 He said this to show by what death he was to die. 34 The
crowd answered him, "We have heard from the Law that the Christ
remains forever; and how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted
up'? Who is this Son of Man?" 35 Then Jesus said to them, "A little
while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest the
darkness overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know
where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that
you may become sons of light."
When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself from
them. 37 Though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not
believe in him; 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled,
which he spoke:
"Lord, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
40 "He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their hearts,
lest they should see with their eyes,
and understand with their hearts and turn,
so that I should heal them."
