"^(C1)Now My soul has become troubled; and what am I to say? '^(C2)Father, save Me from ^(C3)this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

"^(C1)Father, glorify Your name." Then a ^(C2)voice came out of heaven: "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

So the crowd who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, "^(C1)An angel has spoken to Him!"

Jesus responded and said, "^(C1)This voice has not come for My sake, but for yours.

"^(C1)Now judgment is upon this world; now ^(C2)the ruler of this world will be cast out.

"And I, if I ^(C1)am lifted up from the earth, will ^(C2)draw all people to Myself."

Now He was saying this ^(C1)to indicate what kind of death He was going to die.

The crowd then answered Him, "We have heard from ^(C1)the Law that ^(C2)the ^(F1)Christ is to remain forever; and how is it that You say, 'The ^(C3)Son of Man must be ^(C4)lifted up'? Who is this ^(C3)Son of Man?"

So Jesus said to them, "^(C1)For a little while longer ^(C2)the Light is among you. ^(C3)Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; also, the one who ^(C4)walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

"While you have the Light, ^(C1)believe in the Light, so that you may become ^(C2)sons of Light." These things Jesus proclaimed, and He went away and ^(C3)hid Himself from them.
