John 12:27-36 - Jesus Predicts His Death

John 12:27-36

27 Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But because of this I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came out of heaven, saying, I both glorified it, and I will glorify again.

29 The multitude therefore that stood by and heard, said thunder occurred, others said, A heavenly agent has spoken to him.

30 Jesus answered and said, This voice occurred not for my sake, but for your sakes. 31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself. 33 And he said this, signifying by what death he was going to die.

34 The multitude answered him, We have heard from the law that the Christ remains into the age. And how can thou say, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

35 Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little time the light is with you. Walk while ye have the light, so that darkness may not overcome you. And he who walks in the darkness knows not where he is going. 36 While ye have the light, believe in the light, so that ye may become sons of light. Jesus spoke these things, and after departing, he was hid from them.

John 8:21-30

21 Jesus therefore again said to them, I go, and ye will seek me, and ye will die in your sin. Where I go, ye cannot come.

22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, ye cannot come?

23 And he said to them, Ye are from below, I am from above. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world. 24 I said therefore to you that ye will die in your sins. For unless ye believe that I am he, ye will die in your sins.

25 They said therefore to him, Who are thou? And Jesus said to them, The beginning, something that I am even telling you. 26 I have many things to say and to judge about you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.

27 They did not understand that he spoke the Father to them. 28 Jesus therefore said to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but I speak these things as my Father taught me. 29 And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.

30 As he spoke these things of him, many believed in him.
