30. Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come for my sake but for yours.
31. Now is the time of judgment on this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out.
32. And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.”
33. He said this indicating the kind of death he would die.
34. So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the law that the Messiah remains forever. Then how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
35. Jesus said to them, “The light will be among you only a little while. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness may not overcome you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where he is going.
36. While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of the light.” After he had said this, Jesus left and hid from them.
37. Although he had performed so many signs in their presence they did not believe in him,
38. in order that the word which Isaiah the prophet spoke might be fulfilled:“Lord, who has believed our preaching,to whom has the might of the Lord been revealed?”
39. For this reason they could not believe, because again Isaiah said:
40. “He blinded their eyesand hardened their heart,so that they might not see with their eyesand understand with their heart and be converted,and I would heal them.”
41. Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke about him.
