John 12:27-36 GNB . . .'"Now my heart is troubled---and what shall I say? Shall I say, 'Father, do not let this hour come upon me'? But that is why I came---so that I might go through this hour of suffering. (28) Father, bring glory to your name!" Then a voice spoke from heaven, "I have brought glory to it, and I will do so again." (29) The crowd standing there heard the voice, and some of them said it was thunder, while others said, "An angel spoke to him!" (30) But Jesus said to them, "It was not for my sake that this voice spoke, but for yours. (31) Now is the time for this world to be judged; now the ruler of this world will be overthrown. (32) When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to me." (33) (In saying this he indicated the kind of death he was going to suffer.) (34) The crowd answered, "Our Law tells us that the Messiah will live forever. How, then, can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?" (35) Jesus answered, "The light will be among you a little longer. Continue on your way while you have the light, so that the darkness will not come upon you; for the one who walks in the dark does not know where he is going. (36) Believe in the light, then, while you have it, so that you will be the people of the light." After Jesus said this, he went off and hid himself from them.'
John 12:27-36 CEV . . .'Now I am deeply troubled, and I don't know what to say. But I must not ask my Father to keep me from this time of suffering. In fact, I came into the world to suffer. (28) So Father, bring glory to yourself. A voice from heaven then said, "I have already brought glory to myself, and I will do it again!" (29) When the crowd heard the voice, some of them thought it was thunder. Others thought an angel had spoken to Jesus. (30) Then Jesus told the crowd, "That voice spoke to help you, not me. (31) This world's people are now being judged, and the ruler of this world is already being thrown out! (32) If I am lifted up above the earth, I will make everyone want to come to me." (33) Jesus was talking about the way he would be put to death. (34) The crowd said to Jesus, "The Scriptures teach that the Messiah will live forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?" (35) Jesus answered, "The light will be with you for only a little longer. Walk in the light while you can. Then you won't be caught walking blindly in the dark. (36) Have faith in the light while it is with you, and you will be children of the light." After Jesus had said these things, he left and went into hiding.'
John 12:27-36 ESV . . .'"Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. (28) Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven: "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again." (29) The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him." (30) Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not mine. (31) Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out. (32) And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." (33) He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die. (34) So the crowd answered him, "We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?" (35) So Jesus said to them, "The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The 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 sons of light." When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them.'
