John 12:25 in Context — John 12

23 Jésus leur répondit: L’heure est venueoù le Fils de l’homme doit être glorifié.

24 En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis,si le grain de blé qui est tombé en terre ne meurt, il reste seul; mais, s’il meurt, il porte beaucoup de fruit.

25 Celui qui aime sa vie la perdra, et celui qui hait sa vie dans ce monde la conservera pour la vie éternelle.

26 Si quelqu’un me sert, qu’il me suive;et là où je suis, là aussi sera mon serviteur. Si quelqu’un me sert, le Père l’honorera.

27 Maintenantmon âme est troublée. Et que dirai-je?… Père, délivre-moi de cette heure?… Mais c’est pour cela que je suis venu jusqu’à cette heure.
