John 12:31-41

31 ¹Now is the judgment of this world; now will ²the ruler of this world ³be cast out.

32 And I, ⁴when I am lifted up from the earth, ⁵will draw ⁶all people to myself."

33 He said this ⁷to show by what kind of death he was going to die.

34 So the crowd answered him, "We have heard from the Law that ⁸the Christ remains forever. How can you say that ⁹the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

35 So Jesus said to them, ¹⁰"The light is among you ¹¹for a little while longer. ¹²Walk while you have the light, lest darkness ¹³overtake you. ¹⁴The 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 ¹⁵sons 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 ¹⁶so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: ¹⁷"Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

39 Therefore they ¹⁸could not believe. For again Isaiah said,

40 ¹⁹"He has blinded their eyes and ²⁰hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them."

41 Isaiah said these things because ²¹he saw his glory and ²²spoke of him.
