Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross

^27 (A)“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? ^(B)But for this purpose I came to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify Your name.”

^(C)Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

⁴⁷ And if anyone hears My words and does not ^[a]believe, ^(A)I do not judge him; for ^(B)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

⁶ who, ^(A)being in the form of God, did not consider it ^[a]robbery to be equal with God, ^7 (B)but ^[b]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form ^(C)of a bondservant, and ^(D)coming in the likeness of men. ⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and ^(E)became ^(F)obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. ^9 (G)Therefore God also ^(H)has highly exalted Him and ^(I)given Him the name which is above every name, ^10 (J)that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, ¹¹ and ^(K)that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

⁸ But ^(A)God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
