John 12:30-40

30 Jesus answered, ¹"This voice has come for your sake, not mine.

31 ²Now is the judgment of this world; now will ³the ruler of this world ⁴be cast out.

32 And I, ⁵when I am lifted up from the earth, ⁶will draw ⁷all people to myself."

33 He said this ⁸to show by what kind of death he was going to die.

34 So the crowd answered him, "We have heard from the Law that ⁹the Christ remains forever. How can you say that ¹⁰the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

35 So Jesus said to them, ¹¹"The light is among you ¹²for a little while longer. ¹³Walk while you have the light, lest darkness ¹⁴overtake you. ¹⁵The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become ¹⁶sons of light." When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them.

37 Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him,

38 ¹⁷so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: ¹⁸"Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

39 Therefore they ¹⁹could not believe. For again Isaiah said,

40 ²⁰"He has blinded their eyes and ²¹hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them."
