John 12:28-36 (Matins Gospel)
28 |
Father, glorify Your name. Then a voice came from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again." |
29 |
Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him." |
30 |
Jesus answered and said, "This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. |
31 |
Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. |
32 |
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself. |
33 |
This He said, signifying by what death He would die. |
34 |
The people answered Him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?" |
35 |
Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. |
36 |
While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light. These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them. |
