John 12:25 (WEB)
Context Reading
23Jesus answered them,“The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24Most 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. 25He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. 26If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. 27“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
