John 12:27-36 - Jesus Predicts His Death
27 Now my soul is troubled; what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour of agony! And yet it was for this very purpose that I came to this hour of agony. 28 Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came out of heaven, "I have already glorified it and I will again glorify it."
29 The crowd of bystanders on hearing it said that it was thunder; others, however, said, "An angel has spoken to Him!"
30 Jesus answered, "This voice did not come for my sake, but for yours. 31 This world is now in process of judgment; the prince of this world is now to be expelled. 32 And if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to me." 33 He said this to show the kind of death He was going to die.
34 The crowd answered Him, "We have learned from the law that the Christ is to remain here forever, and so how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"
35 Jesus said to them, "Only a little while longer you will have the light. Keep on living by it while you have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you, for whoever walks about in the dark does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." On saying this Jesus went away and hid Himself.
21 Then Jesus again said to them, "I am going away, and you will look for me, but you will die under the curse of your sins; for where I am going you can never come."
22 Then the Jews began to say, "He is not going to kill Himself, is He? Is that why He said, 'Where I am going you can never come'?"
23 He continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this present world; I do not belong to this present world. 24 So I have told you that you would die under the curse of your sins, for unless you believe that I am the Christ, you will die under the curse of your sins."
25 Then they asked Him, "Who are you anyway?" Jesus answered them, "Why do I even talk to you at all? 26 I have much to say about you and much to condemn in you, but He who sent me is truthful, and I am telling the world only what I have learned from Him."
27 They did not understand that He was speaking to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said to them, "When you lift the Son of Man (on the cross), you will know that I am the Christ, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but that I say exactly what my Father has instructed me to say. 29 Yes, He who sent me is ever with me; I am not alone, because I always practice what pleases Him."
30 Even while He was saying this, many believed in Him.
