John 12:30

John 12:30

28 Father, glorify Your name.” ^aThen 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, ^a“This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.

31 Now is the judgment of this world; now ^athe ruler of this world will be cast out.

32 And I, ^aif I am lifted up from the earth, will draw ^ball peoples to Myself.”

Not for my sake, but for your sakes (ou di eme, alla di umav). These words seem to contradict verses John 12:28-29. Bernard suggests an interpolation into the words of Jesus. But why not take it to be the figure of exaggerated contrast, "not merely for my sake, but also for yours"?
