²⁹ So the crowd who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “^(A)An angel has spoken to Him!” ³⁰ Jesus responded and said, “^(B)This voice has not come for My sake, but for yours. ^31 (C)Now judgment is upon this world; now ^(D)the ruler of this world will be cast out. ³² And I, if I ^(E)am lifted up from the earth, will ^(F)draw all people to Myself.” ³³ Now He was saying this ^(G)to indicate what kind of death He was going to die. ³⁴ The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard from ^(H)the Law that ^(I)the ^[a]Christ is to remain forever; and how is it that You say, ‘The ^(J)Son of Man must be ^(K)lifted up’? Who is this ^(L)Son of Man?” ³⁵ So Jesus said to them, “^(M)For a little while longer ^(N)the Light is among you. ^(O)Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; also, the one who ^(P)walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. ³⁶ While you have the Light, ^(Q)believe in the Light, so that you may become ^(R)sons of Light.”

These things Jesus proclaimed, and He went away and ^(S)hid Himself from them. ³⁷ But though He had performed so many ^[b]signs in their sight, they still were not believing in Him. ³⁸ This happened so that the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke would be fulfilled: “^(T)Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again, ⁴⁰ “^(U)He has blinded their eyes and He ^(V)hardened their heart, so that they will not see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and ^[c]be converted, and so I will not heal them.” ⁴¹ These things Isaiah said because ^(W)he saw His glory, and ^(X)he spoke about Him. ⁴² Nevertheless ^(Y)many, even of ^(Z)the rulers, believed in Him, but ^(AA)because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, so that they would not be ^(AB)excommunicated from the synagogue; ^43 (AC)for they loved the ^[d]approval of people rather than the ^[e]approval of God.

⁴⁴ Now Jesus cried out and said, “^(AD)The one who believes in Me, does not believe only in Me, but also in Him who sent Me. ⁴⁵ And ^(AE)the one who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. ^46 (AF)I have come as Light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me will remain in darkness. ⁴⁷ If anyone hears My ^[f]teachings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for ^(AG)I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. ^48 (AH)The one who rejects Me and does not ^[g]accept My ^[h]teachings has one who judges him: ^(AI)the word which I spoke. That will judge him on ^(AJ)the last day. ^49 (AK)For I did not speak ^[i]on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me ^(AL)has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that ^(AM)His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak ^(AN)just as the Father has told Me.”

⁹ And those who were with me ^(A)saw the light, but ^(B)did not ^[a]understand the voice of the One who was speaking to me.
