John 12:27-33

27“Now My soul is troubled and deeply distressed; what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour [of trial and agony]’? But it is for this [very] purpose that I have come to this hour [this time and place].

28[Rather, I will say,] ‘Father, glorify (honor, extol) Your name!’ ” Then a voice came from heaven saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

29The crowd of people who stood nearby and heard the voice said that it had thundered; others said, “An angel has spoken to Him!”

30Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not for mine.

31Now judgment is upon this world [the sentence is being passed]. Now the ruler of this world (Satan) will be cast out.

32And I, if and when I am lifted up from the earth [on the cross], will draw all people to Myself [Gentiles, as well as Jews].”

33He said this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.
