John 12:27-36 - Jesus Predicts His Death

John 12:27-36

27 "Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, deliver me from this hour'? But for this [reason] I have come to this hour! 28 Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have both glorified [it], and I will glorify [it] again."

29 Now the crowd that stood [there] and heard [it] said {it had thundered}. Others were saying, "An angel has spoken to him!"

30 Jesus answered and said, "This voice has not happened for my sake, but [for] your sake. 31 Now is the judgment of this world! Now the ruler of this world will be thrown out! 32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all [people] to myself." 33 (Now he said this to indicate by what sort of death he was going to die.)

34 Then the crowd replied to him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains {forever}! And how do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

35 So Jesus said to them, "Yet a little time the light is with you! Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness does not overtake you! And the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may become sons of light." Jesus said these [things], and [then] he went away [and] was hidden from them.

John 8:21-30

21 So he said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come!"

22 Then the Jews began to say, "Perhaps he will kill himself, because he is saying, 'Where I am going you cannot come.'"

23 And he said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world. 24 Thus I said to you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am [he], you will die in your sins."

25 So they began to say to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "{What} I have been saying to you [from] the beginning. 26 I have many [things] to say and to judge concerning you, but the one who sent me is true, and [the things] which I heard from him, these [things] I say to the world."

27 (They did not know that he was speaking to them about the Father.) 28 Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize that I am [he], and I do nothing from myself, but just as the Father taught me, I say these [things]. 29 And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to him."

30 [While] he was saying these [things], many believed in him.
