John 12:27-36 - Jesus Predicts His Death
27 I am troubled! What should I say? Father, save me out of this hour? It is for this purpose that I came to this hour! (Hebrews 5:7) 28 Father, glorify your name. A voice came from heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 The crowd near him only heard thunder. Some said an angel spoke to him.
30 Jesus said: This voice came for your sake and not for mine. 31 Now judgment is on this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 When I am lifted up from the earth I will draw all men to myself. 33 He said this indicating the type of death he would experience.
34 The crowd answered him: We have heard from the law that the Christ lives forever. Why do you say the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?
35 Jesus said to them: The light will be with you for a little while. Walk while you have the light, that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. 36 While you have the light, exert active faith in the light, that you may become sons of light. Jesus said this and then he departed and hid himself from them.
21 He said: I go away. You will seek me and will die in your sin. You cannot come where I go.
22 The Jews asked: Would he kill himself? For he said you could not come where I go.
23 He responded to them: You are from below. I am from above. You are from this world. I am not from this world. 24 I said to you that you would die in your sins. Unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins!
25 Who are you, they asked. Jesus replied: What have I been telling you from the beginning? 26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. He that sent me is true. I tell the world the things he told me.
27 They were not aware that he spoke to them about the Father. 28 Jesus said: When you have lifted up (impaled) the Son of man you will know that I am that person. I do nothing by myself! I speak what the Father taught me! 29 He sent me and is with me. He has not left me alone. I always do the things that are pleasing to him!
30 Many believed when he said these things.
