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 cause I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name! Then came there a voice from heaven: Yea, I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29 The multitude therefore that stood by, hearing this, said that it thundered. Others said, An angel hath spoken to him.

30 Jesus answered and said, This voice hath come not for my sake, but for yours. 31 Now is the judgment of this world; now will the prince of this world be cast out; 32 and I, if I be lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men to me. 33 This he said, signifying what kind of death he was to die.

34 The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the Law that the Christ abideth for ever; how then dost thou say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

35 Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spoke Jesus, and went away, and hid himself from them.

John 8:21-30

21 Again therefore he said to them, I go away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sin. Whither I go, ye cannot come.

22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?

23 And he said to them, Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said 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 art thou? Jesus said to them, In the first place, I am just that which I speak to you. 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 what I heard from him.

27 They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father. 28 Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am He, and do nothing of myself, but speak these things as the Father taught me. 29 And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone, for I always do the things that please him.

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