John 12:27-34 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

27. “Now I am very troubled. What should I say? Should I say, ‘Father, save me from this time’? No, I came to this time so that I could suffer.

28. Father, bring glory to your name!”Then a voice came from heaven, “I have brought glory to it, and I will do it again.”

29. The crowd standing there heard the voice. They said it was thunder.But others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

30. Jesus said, “That voice was for you, not for me.

31. Now is the time for the world to be judged. Now the ruler of this world will be thrown down.

32. I will be lifted up from the earth. And when this happens, I will draw all people toward me.”

33. Jesus said this to show how he would die.

34. The crowd said, “We have heard from the law that the Christ will live forever. So why do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”
