Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross
27 a“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? bBut for this purpose I came to this hour.
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.
33 aThis He said, signifying by what death He would die.
34 The people answered Him, a“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?”

What Does John 12:29 Mean?
John 12:27-33
When Jesus Christ lived a perfect life and died for the sins of men, He qualified to dethrone Satan. The "ruler of this world" has been defeated! However, he remains active among us until the King of kings returns and sets up His government on earth.
