Very truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds — Jesus explains His imminent death through the parable of the grain of wheat: death is prerequisite to fruitfulness and multiplication. The grain's death is not merely destruction but transformation into abundant life. This principle applies both to Jesus (whose death will produce spiritual fruitfulness across all nations, signified by the arriving Greeks) and to His disciples (who must accept death to gain life).
