The Voice from on High
27 "Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!"
Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."
29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him. 30
Jesus said, "This voice was for your benefit, not mine.
31 Now is the time for judgment on this
world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.
32 But I, when I am lifted up from the earth,
will draw all men to myself." 33 He said
this to show the kind of death he was going to die.
John 12:27-33
