John 12:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ His disciples did not understand and could not comprehend the meaning of these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified and exalted, they remembered that these things had been written about Him and had been done to Him.

¹⁷ The group that had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from among the dead kept telling it [bearing witness] to others.

¹⁸ It was for this reason that the crowd went out to meet Him, because they had heard that He had performed this sign (proof, miracle).
