Jesus said to his disciples:

“Now the hour has come for the Son of Man to be gloried. I tell you, most solemnly, unless a wheat grain falls on the ground and dies, it remains only a single grain; but if it dies, it yields a rich harvest. Anyone who loves his life loses it; anyone who hates his life in this world will keep it for the eternal life. If a man serves me, he must follow me, wherever I am, my servant will be there too. If anyone serves me, my Father will honour him.

Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say: Father, save me from this hour? But it is for this very reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name!”

A voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

All:             Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
