John 12:27-37

New American Standard Bible

Jesus Foretells His Death

²⁷ “^(A)Now My soul has become troubled; and what am I to say? ‘^(B)Father, save Me from ^(C)this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. ^28 (D)Father, glorify Your name.” Then a ^(E)voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” ²⁹ So the crowd who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “^(F)An angel has spoken to Him!” ³⁰ Jesus responded and said, “^(G)This voice has not come for My sake, but for yours. ^31 (H)Now judgment is upon this world; now ^(I)the ruler of this world will be cast out. ³² And I, if I ^(J)am lifted up from the earth, will ^(K)draw all people to Myself.” ³³ Now He was saying this ^(L)to indicate what kind of death He was going to die. ³⁴ The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard from ^(M)the Law that ^(N)the ^[a]Christ is to remain forever; and how is it that You say, ‘The ^(O)Son of Man must be ^(P)lifted up’? Who is this ^(Q)Son of Man?” ³⁵ So Jesus said to them, “^(R)For a little while longer ^(S)the Light is among you. ^(T)Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; also, the one who ^(U)walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. ³⁶ While you have the Light, ^(V)believe in the Light, so that you may become ^(W)sons of Light.”

These things Jesus proclaimed, and He went away and ^(X)hid Himself from them. ³⁷ But though He had performed so many ^[b]signs in their sight, they still were not believing in Him.
