John 12:27-36 - Jesus Predicts His Death
27 Now is my soul disquieted. What shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? Nay, for this very cause I am come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name!" Whereupon there came a voice from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
29 Then the crowd who stood around and heard it, said, "It thundered!" But others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
30 "It is not for my sake," answered Jesus, "that the voice came, but for your sakes. 31 Now is a judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be driven out. 32 "AND I, IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH, WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO MYSELF." 33 (In saying this he was signifying by what kind of death he was to die.)
34 Then the people answered. "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ abides forever. What do you mean by 'The Son of man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of man?"
35 "The Light is among you a little longer," answered Jesus. "Walk while you have the Light, lest darkness overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become Sons of Light."
21 Then again he said them. "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I am going, you cannot come."
22 Then the Jews said: "He will not kill himself, will he? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?"
23 And he said to them. "You are from below. I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. 24 "That is why I said that you would die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
25 "Who are you?" then they asked him. "What I am telling you from the beginning," Jesus answered. 26 "I have many things to say and to judge concerning you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world only those things which I have heard from him."
27 They did not understand that he meant the Father, 28 so Jesus added. "When you lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am He; and that I do nothing on my own authority, but that I speak just as the Father has taught me, 29 "and he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I do always the things that please him."
30 When he spoke in this way, many of the Jews believed in him.
