Greek Jews
Some Greek Jews who are in Jerusalem for Passover want to see him.
They go to Philip, who tells Andrew.
They bring the Greeks to Jesus.
The time has come for Adam’s son to be glorified.
What I say is, I say to you, unless a wheat seed falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone.
But if it dies, it brings forth more seed.
Everyone who loves his life will lose it.
Everyone who scorns his life in the world will live it in eternity.
If anyone wishes to serve me, he will walk with me.
Where I am, my servant will be.
If anyone serves me, my father will honor him.
I am filled with anxiety.
What should I say?
Father, save me from this hour, but for this hour I have come.
Father, glorify your name.
A voice comes from the heavens.
I have glorified it and will glorify it.
Some in the crowd say it’s thundering.
Others, an angel spoke.
The voice didn’t come for my sake, but for yours.
Now is the judgment time for the world.
Now will the prince of the world be thrown out.
When I am lifted up from the earth, I shall draw all to me.
The scriptures tell us the Messiah will live forever.
You tell us Adam’s son will be lifted up.
Who then is the Messiah?
You still have the light in you.
Walk while you have the light.
Darkness is coming, and whoever walks in the dark won’t know where he’s going.
While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be children of the light.
Who believes in me, believes not me only, but him who sent me.
Who sees me, sees him who sent me.
I have come into the world as a light.
Who believes in me will not live in darkness.
God hasn’t sent his son to the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe is already condemned by his not believing.
His condemnation is that light has come in the world, and he loves the darkness instead of the light, because his deeds are lies.
For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to it, lest their deeds be shown.
But all who do truth come to the light, that their deeds may shine brightly, because they are done by God.
I haven’t come to condemn the world, but to save it.
Whoever doesn’t believe me and spurns my word will be judged on the last day by the word he spurns.
The word I speak isn’t mine alone.
The Father who sent me commanded me to speak it.
I know his command is always living.
The things therefore which I speak are as the Father said I should speak.
The Greek Jews shake their heads and go back to the temple.
