John 12:27-36
The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
27 “aNow bMy soul has become dismayed; and what shall I say, ‘cFather, dsave Me from ethis hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 aFather, glorify Your name.” Then a bvoice came from heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “aAn angel has spoken to Him.” 30 Jesus answered and said, “aThis voice has not come for My sake, but for your sake. 31 aNow judgment is upon this world; now bthe ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, if I aam lifted up from the earth, will bdraw all men to Myself.” 33 But He was saying this ato indicate the kind of death by which He was about to die. 34 The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard from athe Law that bthe Christ is to remain forever; and how do You say, ‘The cSon of Man must be dlifted up’? Who is this cSon of Man?” 35 So Jesus said to them, “aFor a little while longer bthe Light is among you. cWalk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who dwalks in the darkness does not know where he goes. 36 While you have the Light, abelieve in the Light, so that you may become bsons of Light.”
These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and chid Himself from them.
