John 12:32-34
1599 Geneva Bible
32 (A)And I, if I were [a]lift up from the earth, will draw [b]all men unto me.
33 Now this said he, signifying what death he should die.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the (B)Law, that that Christ bideth forever: and how sayest thou, that that Son of man must be lift up? Who is that Son of man?

- John 12:32 Christ used a word, which hath a double meaning: for it signifieth either to lift up, or to rid out of the way, for his meaning was to put them in mind of his death, but the Jews seem to take it another way.
- John 12:32 Chrysostom and Theophylact refer this word, All, to all nations: that is, not to the Jews only.
John 12:32-34

34 The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law(D) that the Messiah will remain forever,(E) so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man(F) must be lifted up’?(G) Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”
