John 12:27-36

27“Now my soul is troubled. What should I say — Father, save me from this hour? But that is why I came to this hour.

28Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

29The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

30Jesus responded, “This voice came, not for me, but for you.

31Now is the judgment of this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

32As for me, if I am lifted up from the earth I will draw all people to myself.”

33He said this to indicate what kind of death he was about to die.

34Then the crowd replied to him, “We have heard from the law that the Messiah will remain forever. So how can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

35Jesus answered, “The light will be with you only a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that darkness doesn’t overtake you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.

36While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may become children of light.” Jesus said this, then went away and hid from them.
