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 came I to this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29 The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, That it was thunder: but others said, it was an angel spake to Him.

30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for yours. 31 Now is the judgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, shall 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 Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while the light is to be with you; walk while ye have the light, least darkness overtake you; for he that walketh in the dark knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and then went away, and concealed himself from them.

John 8:21-30

21 Jesus therefore said unto them again, "I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: where I go ye cannot come."

22 The Jews therefore said, What! will He kill himself; that He says, where I am going, ye cannot come?

23 And He said unto them, Ye are from beneath, 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 believe not that I am the Messiah, ye shall die in your sins.

25 Then said they to Him, Who art thou? And Jesus answered them, Even the same that I told you at first. 26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you: but I only say, He that sent me is true, and I declare to the world those things, which I have heard from Him.

27 But they did not know that He spake unto them of the Father. 28 Jesus therefore said unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am He, and that I do nothing of myself, but as my Father hath instructed me, I speak these things. 29 And He that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.

30 As He spake these words many believed on Him.
