Jesus Talks About His Death
27"Now I am very troubled. What should I say? Should I say, 'Father save me from
this time [of suffering]'? No, I came to this time so that I could suffer. 28Father,
bring glory to your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have brought glory
to that name. I will do it again." 29The people standing there heard the voice.
Those people said it was thunder. But other people said, "An angel spoke to Jesus!"
30Jesus said to the people, "That voice was for you and not for me. 31Now is the
time for the world to be judged. Now the ruler of this world (the devil) will be
thrown out. 32I will be lifted up from the earth. And when this happens, I will
bring all people to me." 33Jesus said this to show how he would die. 34The people
said, "But our law says 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'?" 35Then Jesus said, "The
light will be with you for only a short time more. So walk while you have the light.
Then the darkness (sin) will not catch you. The person that walks in the darkness
does not know where he is going. 36So put your trust in the light while you still
have it. Then you will become sons of light." When Jesus finished saying these things,
he left. Jesus went to a place where the people could not find him.
The Jews Refuse to Believe in Jesus
37Jesus did all these many miracles.* The people saw these things, but they still
did not believe in him. 38This was to make clear the full meaning of what Isaiah
the prophet* said: "Lord, who believed the things we told them? Who has seen the
Lord's power?"
(Isaiah 53:1)
39This is why the people could not believe. Because Isaiah also said, 40"God made
the people blind. God closed their minds. God did this so that they will not see
with their eyes and understand with their minds. Then I would heal them."
(Isaiah 6:10)
41Isaiah said this because he saw his (Jesus') glory. So Isaiah spoke about him
(Jesus). 42But many people believed in Jesus. Even many of the Jewish leaders believed
in Jesus. But they were afraid of the Pharisees.* So they did not say openly that
they believed. They were afraid that they would be put out of the synagogue.* 43These
men loved praise from people more than praise from God.
Jesus' Teaching Will Judge People
44Then Jesus said loudly, "The person that believes in me is really believing in
the One (God) who sent me. 45The person that sees me is really seeing the One who
sent me. 46I am light, and I came into this world. I came so that every person that
believes in me would not stay in darkness. 47"I did not come into the world to judge
people. I came to save the people in the world. So I am not the one that judges
the people who hear my teaching but don't obey. 48There is a judge for the person
that refuses to believe in me and does not accept what I say. The message I have
taught will judge that person on the last day. 49Why? Because the things I taught
were not from myself. The Father (God) who sent me told me what to say and what
to teach. 50And I know that eternal life comes from what the Father commands. So
the things I say are what the Father told me to say."
Footnotes: Christ The "anointed one" (Messiah) or chosen one of God. Son of Man
A name Jesus used for himself. In Dan. 7:13-14, this is the name for the Messiah,
the one God chose to save his people. miracle(s) Miracles are amazing works done
by God's power. prophet A person that spoke for God. Sometimes a prophet told things
that would happen in the future. Pharisees The Pharisees were a Jewish religious
group that claimed to follow carefully all Jewish laws and customs. synagogue(s)
Synagogues were places where Jews gathered for prayer, study of the Scriptures,
and other public meetings.
