John 12:30-48

Jesus responded, “This voice came, not for me, but for you.   Now is the judgment of this world.   Now the ruler of this world   will be cast out.   As for me, if I am lifted up   from the earth I will draw all people to myself.”   He said this to indicate what kind of death he was about to die.  Then 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? ” Jesus 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.   While 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.  Even though he had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in him. This was to fulfill  the word of Isaiah  the prophet, who said:  Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm   of the Lord been revealed?   , This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said: He has blinded   their eyes and hardened their hearts,   so that they would not see with their eyes or understand with their hearts, and turn,   and I would heal them.   , Isaiah said these things because  he saw his glory  and spoke about him. Nevertheless, many did believe in him even among the rulers,  but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, so that they would not be banned from the synagogue. For they loved human praise  more than praise from God.  Jesus cried out, “The one who believes in me   believes not in me, but in him who sent me. And the one who sees me sees him   who sent me. I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me would not remain in darkness. If anyone hears my words and doesn’t keep   them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world   but to save the world.   The one who rejects me   and doesn’t receive my sayings has this as his judge:   The word I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
