John 12:31

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

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

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.”

33 He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
