John 12:30

Jesus

28 Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

29 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.

In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.

31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.

32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
