☀️ 20 - Among those who were in Jerusalem for the Passover/Unleavened Bread* feast were some from Greece. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and they asked him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.” 22 So Philip told Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip went to Jesus and told him.
23 And Jesus said to them, “The hour has now come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains only one. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.” {And becomes many.! “We shall be like him, and of course we have far to go.. It’s a work God does. We must submit, submit, submit.. keep saying I do, I do, I do. And keep “seeking, asking, knocking” for Him and to understand Truth, all Truth and nothing but.}
25 “Whoever loves his life will lose it, and whoever loves less their life in this world will keep it as enduring life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and where I am, there they will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor them. 27 But now my soul is troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But it’s for this hour I’ve come. 28 Father, glorify your name.”
Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it. And I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that was around him heard it, and said “It thundered!” But others said, “An angel spoke to him.”
30 Jesus said, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 By this is the judgment of this world. And by this will the ruler of this world be cast out. 32 And I - if I am lifted up from the earth [executed on a cross/tree] - will draw all to myself.”
33 He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die. 34 So the crowd answered him, “We’ve heard from the Law that Messiah remains forever. Why do you say the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 So Jesus said, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtakes you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where they are going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, so you may become sons and daughters of Light.” When Jesus had said these things, he left the temple and city.

* Passover and 1st day of Unleavened Bread were referred to interchangeably. And the entire Spring holy week, as well, was referred to as both Passover and Unleavened Bread. This is only one of the ways it is veiled as to how exactly, and perfectly, the Lord’s first advent fulfilled those Spring holy days. There are also 3 Sabbaths of the week, so 3 preparation days as well. Logically, might this imply something about the Fall holy days — the ancient holy days as listed in Leviticus chapter 23? When aLL is said and done (one & done) “God will Tabernacle with mankind” after and in the “palin/again-genesis” of Rev.21:1-5. In verse 5 the word is pas, one word which means - all, every, the whole. The word things is inserted here, and elsewhere. Including three out of five times in 1Cor.15:27-28, repeating what? Three times in vs.27? God’s message is so unbelievably good that it’s hard to believe? Including translators brought up in the worldwide, ancient belief of afterlife torments. The adversary’s second fondest fantasy? World domination, of course, as first fantasy. (Which culminates, and which logically can only ever culminate in Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4, since the “splitting” of creation’s building block is possible.
