John 12:32-34

Expanded Bible

³² ·If [or When] I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people ·toward me [to myself].” ³³ Jesus said this to show ·how [what kind of death] he would die.

³⁴ The crowd ·said [responded to him], “We have heard from the ·law [^Cthe Old Testament] that the ·Christ [Messiah] will ·live [remain] forever [Ps. 89:35–37; Is. 9:7; Ezek. 37:25]. So why do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”
