012:014 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it.
As it is written,
012:015 "Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes,
sitting on a donkey's colt."{Zechariah 9:9}
012:016 His disciples didn't understand these things at first,
but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that
these things were written about him, and that they had done
these things to him.
012:017 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called
Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead,
was testifying about it.
012:018 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they
heard that he had done this sign.
012:019 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you
accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him."
012:020 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship
at the feast.
012:021 These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee,
and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
012:022 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip,
and they told Jesus.
012:023 Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man
to be glorified.
012:024 Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls
into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone.
But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
012:025 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life
in this world will keep it to eternal life.
012:026 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am,
there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me,
the Father will honor him.
012:027 "Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? 'Father, save me
from this time?' But for this cause I came to this time.
012:028 Father, glorify your name!" Then there came a voice out
of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will
glorify it again."
012:029 The multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it
had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
012:030 Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake,
but for your sakes.
012:031 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this
world will be cast out.
012:032 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all
people to myself."
012:033 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
012:034 The multitude answered him, "We have heard out of the law
that the Christ remains forever.{Isaiah 9:7; Daniel 2:44
(but see also Isaiah 53:8)} How do you say, 'The Son of Man
must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"
012:035 Jesus therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light
is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness
doesn't overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn't
know where he is going.
