John Chapter 12 Verse 42Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

‹And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all› [men] ‹unto me.›

This he said, signifying what death he should die.

The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

Then Jesus said unto them, ‹Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.›

‹And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.›

‹He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.›

‹For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.›

‹And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.›
