Jesus answered them, "The hour has

come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

 Amen, amen, I say to you,

unless a grain of wheat

falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a

grain of wheat; but if it

dies, it produces much

fruit.  Whoever loves his life loses it,

and whoever hates his life in this world

will preserve it for eternal life.

– John 12:23-25
