he Pharisees among themselves,
Do ye not perceive that ye gain no advantage? behold, the world is gone
after him.
(20)Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at
the feast: (21)these then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida, of
Galilee, and they asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.
(22)Philip comes and speaks to Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell
Jesus. (23)Then 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 grain of wheat falling on the earth undergo a deathlike
change, it abideth single: but if it _thus_ die, it beareth abundant
produce. (25)He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth
his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal. (26)If a man
will be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall
my servant be: and if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, That the Son of man
must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (35)Then said Jesus unto
them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the
light, lest the darkness overtake you: he that walketh in darkness,
knoweth not even whither he is going. (36)While ye have the light,
believe in the light, that ye may be the children of the light. These
things spake Jesus, and going away, concealed himself from them.
(37)Now, though he had done so many miracles before them, they believed
not on him: (38)that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be
