John 12:27-36

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁷ “Now My soul is troubled. What should I say—Father, save Me^(A) from this hour? But that is why I came to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify Your name!”^[a](B)

Then a voice^(C) came from heaven:^(D) “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again!”^(E)

²⁹ The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.

³⁰ Jesus responded, “This voice came, not for Me, but for you.^{(F) 31} Now is the judgment of this world.^(G) Now the ruler of this world^(H) will be cast out.^{(I) 32} As for Me, if I am lifted up^[b] from the earth I will draw all people to Myself.”^{(J) 33} He said this to signify what kind of death He was about to die.^(K)

³⁴ Then the crowd replied to Him, “We have heard from the scripture that the Messiah will remain forever.^(L) So how can You say, ‘The Son of Man^(M) must be lifted up’?^[c] Who is this Son of Man?”

³⁵ Jesus answered, “The light will be with you only a little longer.^(N) Walk while you have the light^(O) so that darkness doesn’t overtake you.^(P) The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.^{(Q) 36} While you have the light,^(R) believe in the light so that you may become sons of light.” Jesus said this, then went away and hid from them.^(S)
