John 12:32-36
New Living Translation
32 And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.” 33 He said this to indicate how he was going to die.
34 The crowd responded, “We understood from Scripture[a] that the Messiah would live forever. How can you say the Son of Man will die? Just who is this Son of Man, anyway?”
35 Jesus replied, “My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. 36 Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.”
After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.

New International Version
32 And I, when I am lifted up[a] from the earth,(A) will draw all people to myself.”(B) 33 He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.(C)
34 The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law(D) that the Messiah will remain forever,(E) so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man(F) must be lifted up’?(G) Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”
35 Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light(H) just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light,(I) before darkness overtakes you.(J) Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. 36 Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.”(K) When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.(L)
