John 12:27-36 - Jesus Predicts His Death

John 12:27-36

27 Now my soul is troubled; and what do I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on this account I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name. Then a voice came from heaven, I have indeed glorified thee, and will glorify thee again.

29 Then the multitudes standing, hearing, said, That it was thunder; others said, An angel has spoken to Him.

30 Jesus responded and said, This voice was not on account of me, but on account of you. 31 Now is the judgment of this world: now the prince of this world shall be cast out. 32 And if I may be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men towards me. 33 And He spoke this, signifying by what death He was about to die.

34 Then the multitude responded to Him; We have heard from the law that Christ abideth forever; and how do You say, That it behooveth the Son of man to be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

35 Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk about as you have the light, in order that the darkness may not overtake you: and he that walketh about in darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may be the sons of light. And Jesus spoke these things, and having gone out was hidden from them.

John 8:21-30

21 Then He again said to them, I go away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin: whither I go you are not able to come.

22 Then the Jews were saying, Whether will He kill Himself, because He says, Whither I go away, you are not able to come?

23 And He said to them, You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you may not believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins.

25 Then they said to Him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Even that which I also speak to you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you; but the One having sent me is true; those things which I heard with Him, these I speak to the world.

27 They did not know that He spoke to them concerning the Father. 28 Then Jesus said, When you may lift up the Son of man, then you shall know that I am He, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me, I speak the same things. 29 Truly the One having sent me is with me; He has not left me alone; because I always do those things which are pleasing to Him.

30 He speaking these things, many believed on Him.
