hour. But for this cause came I to this hour;
[12:28]Father, glorify thy name. Then came a voice from heaven, I have
both glorified and will glorify it again. [12:29]Then the multitude
standing and hearing, said, It was thunder; others said, An angel spoke
to him. [12:30] Jesus answered and said, This voice was not on my
account, but for you. [12:31] There is now a judgment of this world;
the ruler of this world shall now be cast out; [12:32]and if I am
raised on high from the earth I will draw all men to me. [12:33]But
this he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.
5 [12:34]Then the multitude answered him, We have heard from the law
that the Christ continues forever; and how say you, The Son of man must
be raised on high? Who is this Son of man? [12:35]Then Jesus said to

his glory, and spoke of him. [12:42]Nevertheless, many of the rulers
believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess him,
lest they should be put out of the synagogues; [12:43]for they loved
the glory of men more than the glory of God.
7 [12:44]And Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not
on me but on him that sent me; [12:45]and he that beholds me beholds
him that sent me. [12:46]I have come a light into the world, that no
