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 for this have I come in this hour. 28 Father, clarify thy name. Then there came a voice from the heaven, saying, I have clarified it and will clarify it again.

29 The people, therefore, that were present and heard it, said that it thundered; others said, An angel spoke to him.

30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 31 Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.

34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou, It is expedient that the Son of man be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the Light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you; for he that walks in darkness does not know where he goes. 36 While ye have the Light, believe in the Light that ye may be the sons of light. Jesus spoke these things and departed and hid himself from them.

John 8:21-30

21 Then Jesus said again unto them, I am going away, and ye shall seek me, but ye shall die in your sins; where I go, ye shall not be able to come.

22 Then the Jews said, Will he kill himself? because he says, Where I go, ye shall not be able to come.

23 And he said unto them, Ye are from below, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said unto you that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye do not believe that I AM, ye shall die in your sins.

25 And said they unto him, Who art thou? Then Jesus said unto them, He that I said unto you also from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge regarding you, but he that sent me is true; and those things which I have heard of him, I speak in the world.

27 But they did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father. 28 Then Jesus said unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I AM and that I do nothing of myself, but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things. 29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone, for I always do those things that please him.

30 As he spoke these words, many believed in him.
