Bible verse
He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
John 12:33 · BSB
The verses around it, from John 12.
29 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.
30 In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.
31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”
33 He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
34 The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” After Jesus had spoken these things, He went away and was hidden from them.
37 Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.
