John 12:15-41
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
15DO NOT FEAR, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY’S COLT.' 16These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things for Him. 17So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him. 18For this reason also the people went to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign. 19So the Pharisees said to one another, 'You see that you are not accomplishing anything; look, the world has gone after Him!'
20Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast;
21these people then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were making a request of him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus.'
22Philip *came and *told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip *came and *told Jesus.
23But Jesus *answered them by saying, 'The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25The one who loves his life loses it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
26If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
27Now My soul has become troubled; and what am I to say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.
28Father, glorify Your name.' Then a voice came out of heaven: 'I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.'
29So the crowd who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, 'An angel has spoken to Him!'
30Jesus responded 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, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself.'
33Now He was saying this to indicate what kind of death He was going to die.
34The crowd then answered Him, 'We have heard from the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how is it that You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?'
35So Jesus said to them, 'For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; also, the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.' These things Jesus proclaimed, and He went away and hid Himself from them.
37But though He had performed so many signs in their sight, they still were not believing in Him.
38This happened so that the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke would be fulfilled: 'Lord, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE Lord BEEN REVEALED?'
39For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
40HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WILL NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED, AND so I WILL not heal them.'
41These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke about Him.
King James Version
16These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
17The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24Verily, 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.
25He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26If 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.
27Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
35Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
37But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
38That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

Chapter 12
15 Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion. Look, your King is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.
17Meanwhile, the crowd, which had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify.
18This is also why the crowd met him, because they heard he had done this sign.
19Then the Pharisees said to one another, "You see? You’ve accomplished nothing. Look, the world has gone after him!"
20Now some Greeks were among those who went up to worship at the festival.
21So they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
22Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.
23Jesus replied to them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24Truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces much fruit.
25The one who loves his life will lose it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26If anyone serves me, he must follow me. Where I am, there my servant also will be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
30Jesus responded, "This voice came, not for me, but for you.
31Now is the judgment of this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
32As for me, if I am lifted up from the earth I will draw all people to myself."
33He said this to indicate what kind of death he was about to die.
35Jesus answered, "The light will be with you only a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that darkness doesn’t overtake you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.
36While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may become children of light." Jesus said this, then went away and hid from them.
New Living Translation
Chapter 12
15'Don’t be afraid, people of Jerusalem. Look, your King is coming, riding on a donkey’s colt.'
17Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb, raising him from the dead, and they were telling others about it.
18That was the reason so many went out to meet him — because they had heard about this miraculous sign.
19Then the Pharisees said to each other, 'There’s nothing we can do. Look, everyone has gone after him!'
20Some Greeks who had come to Jerusalem for the Passover celebration
21paid a visit to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee. They said, 'Sir, we want to meet Jesus.'
22Philip told Andrew about it, and they went together to ask Jesus.
23Jesus replied, 'Now the time has come for the Son of Man to enter into his glory.
24I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels — a plentiful harvest of new lives.
25Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.
26Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.
28Father, bring glory to your name.' Then a voice spoke from heaven, saying, 'I have already brought glory to my name, and I will do so again.'
29When the crowd heard the voice, some thought it was thunder, while others declared an angel had spoken to him.

Look, the world has gone after him."
20Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks.
21So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
22Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.
23And Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

27"Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.
28Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven: "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again."
29The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
30Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not mine.
31Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out.
32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."
33He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.
34So the crowd answered him, "We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"
35So Jesus said to them, "The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who 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." When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them.

15"Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt."
17Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word.
18Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him.
19So the Pharisees said to one another, "See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!"
20Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the festival.
21They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. "Sir," they said, "we would like to see Jesus."
22Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.
23Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
25Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
28Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."
29The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
30Jesus said, "This voice was for your benefit, not mine.
31Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.
32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."
33He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.
35Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going.
36Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light." When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.
New King James Version
17Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness.
18For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.

24Most assuredly, 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 grain.
25He who loves his life will lose it, and he who 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, him My Father will honor.
30Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.
31Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
32And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”
33This He said, signifying by what death He would die.
