John 12:28

26 If anyone serves Me, let him ^afollow Me; and ^bwhere I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

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.

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.”

What Does John 12:28 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.
