25 aHe who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26 If anyone serves Me, let him afollow Me; and bwhere I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.
Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross
27 a“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? bBut for this purpose I came to this hour.
28 Father, glorify Your name.” aThen a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
29 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
30 Jesus answered and said, a“This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.
33 aThis He said, signifying by what death He would die.
34 The people answered Him, a“We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer athe light is with you. bWalk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; che who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
