  1. John 12:32 See 18:32. Or, exalted, as in 3:14; 8:28; and next in v 34.
  2. John 12:34 If the Messiah remains as King on earth forever, how can He be exalted to heaven? Are You talking about someone other than the Messiah? Jesus doesn’t answer because they cannot now understand that by ‘lifted-up’ He means ‘crucified’. He exhorts them to act on what they know.
