28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing ^pthe works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, ^qthat you believe in him whom ^rhe has sent.”

23 And Jesus answered them, ⁱ“The hour has come ^jfor the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, ^kunless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 ^lWhoever loves his life loses it, and ^mwhoever ⁿhates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must ^ofollow me; and ^pwhere I am, there will my servant be also. ^qIf anyone serves me, ^rthe Father will honor him.

18 ^d“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 ^eIf you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because ^fyou are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ^g‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, ^hthey will also persecute you. ⁱIf they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But ^jall these things they will do to you ^kon account of my name, ^lbecause they do not know him who sent me.
