27Now my soul is troubled, and what should I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this reason 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.”

29So the crowd that was standing there and had heard it was saying that thunder had happened; others were saying, “An angel has spoken to him.”

30Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come for my sake, but for yours.”

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

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

33He was saying this to signify what kind of death he was about to die.

34So the crowd answered him, "We have heard from the Law that the Messiah remains forever, and how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

35So Jesus said to them, “The light is still among you for a little while. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.”

36While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light. Jesus spoke these things, and he departed and hid from them.
