The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up - {Interlinear <Greek>}

12:27 - “Now {Νῦν<nyn>} is → my {μου<egō>} soul {ἡ ψυχή<ho psychē>} troubled.

{τετάρακται,<tarassō>} And {καὶ< kai>} what {τί<tis>} shall → I → say? {εἴπω;<legō>} ‘Father, {πάτερ,<patēr>} save {σῶσόν<sōzō>} me {με<egō>} from {ἐκ<ek>} this {ταύτης;<houtos>} hour’? {τῆς ὥρας<ho hōra>} But {ἀλλὰ<alla>} for this purpose {διὰ τοῦτο<dia houtos>} I → have → come {ἦλθον<erchomai>} to {εἰς<eis>} this {ταύτην.<houtos>} hour. {τὴν ὥραν<ho hōra>}

12:28 - Father, {πάτερ,<patēr>} glorify {δόξασόν<doxazō>} your {σου<sy>} name.” {τὸ ὄνομα.<ho onoma>} Then {οὖν<oun>} a → voice {φωνὴ<phōnē>} came {ἦλθεν <erchomai>} from {ἐκ<ek>} heaven: {τοῦ οὐρανοῦ·<ho ouranos>} • {kai} “I → have → glorified {ἐδόξασα<doxazō>} it, • and {καὶ<kai>} I → will → glorify {δοξάσω.<doxazō>} it • again.” {πάλιν<palin>}

12:29 - The {ὁ<ho>} • {οὖν<oun>} crowd {ὄχλος<ochlos>} that {ὁ<ho>} stood {ἑστὼς<histēmi>} there ← and {καὶ<kai>} heard {ἀκούσας<akouō>} it • said {ἔλεγεν <legō>} that • it • had • thundered. {βροντὴν γεγονέναι.<brontē ginomai>} Others {ἄλλοι<allos>} said, {ἔλεγον·<legō>} “An → angel {ἄγγελος<angelos>} has → spoken {λελάληκεν.<laleō>} to → him.” {αὐτῷ<autos>}

12:30 - Jesus {Ἰησοῦς<Iēsous>} answered, {Ἀπεκρίθη<apokrinomai>} • {καὶ<kai>} • {εἶπεν· <legō>} • {δι᾽<dia>} “This {αὕτη<houtos>} voice {ἡ φωνὴ<ho phōnē>} has → come {γέγονεν<ginomai>} • {ἀλλὰ<alla>} for → your {ὑμᾶς.<sy>} sake, {δι᾽<dia>} not {οὐ<ou>} mine. {ἐμὲ<egō>}

12:31 - Now {νῦν<nyn>} is {ἐστὶν<eimi>} the → judgment {κρίσις<krisis>} of → this {τούτου·<houtos>} world; {τοῦ κόσμου<ho kosmos>} now {νῦν<nyn>} will → the {ὁ <ho>} ruler {ἄρχων<archōn>} of → this {τούτου<houtos>} world {τοῦ κόσμου <ho kosmos>} be → cast {ἐκβληθήσεται<ekballō>} out. {ἔξω,<exō>}

12:32 - And I, {κἀγὼ<kagō>} when {ἐὰν< ean>} I → am → lifted {ὑψωθῶ<hypsoō>} up ← from {ἐκ<ek>} the {τῆς<ho>} earth, {γῆς,<gē>} will → draw {ἑλκύσω<helkō>} all {πάντας <pas>} people ← to {πρὸς<pros>} myself.” {ἐμαυτόν.<emautou>}

12:33 - He → said {ἔλεγεν<legō>} this {τοῦτο<houtos>} • {δὲ<de>} to → show {σημαίνων <sēmainō>} by → what kind of {ποίῳ<poios>} death {θανάτῳ<thanatos>} he → was → going {ἤμελλεν<mellō>} to → die. {ἀποθνήσκειν.<apothnēskō>}

12:34 - So {οὖν<oun>} the {ὁ<ho>} crowd {ὄχλος·<ochlos>} answered {Ἀπεκρίθη <apokrinomai>} him, {αὐτῷ<autos>} “We {ἡμεῖς<egō>} have → heard {ἠκούσαμεν <akouō>} from {ἐκ<ek>} the {τοῦ<ho>} Law {νόμου<nomos>} that {ὅτι<hoti>} the {ὁ<ho>} Christ {χριστὸς<Christos>} remains {μένει<menō>} forever. {εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα,<eis ho aiōn>} • {καὶ<kai>} How {πῶς<pōs>} can → you {σὺ<sy>} say {λέγεις<legō>} that {ὅτι<hoti>} the {τὸν<ho>} Son {υἱὸν<huios>} of → Man {τοῦ ἀνθρώπου; <ho anthrōpos>} must {δεῖ<deō>} be → lifted {ὑψωθῆναι<hypsoō>} up? ← {τίς<tis>} is {ἐστιν<eimi>} this {οὗτος<houtos>} Son {ὁ υἱὸς<ho huios>} of → Man?” {τοῦ ἀνθρώπου;<ho anthrōpos>}

12:35 - So {οὖν<oun>} Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς·<ho Iēsous>} said {Εἶπεν<legō>} to → them, {αὐτοῖς<autos >} “The {τὸ<ho>} light {φῶς<phōs>} is {ἐστιν.<eimi>} among {ἐν<en>} you {ὑμῖν<sy>} for → a → little {μικρὸν<mikros>} while {χρόνον<chronos>} longer. {ἔτι<eti>} Walk {περιπατεῖτε<peripateō>} while {ὡς<hōs>} you → have {ἔχετε,<echō>} the {τὸ<ho>} light, {φῶς<phōs>} lest {ἵνα μὴ<hina mē>} darkness {σκοτία <skotia>} overtake {καταλάβῃ·<katalambanō>} you. {ὑμᾶς<sy>} • {καὶ<kai>} The one who {ὁ<ho>} walks {περιπατῶν<peripateō>} in {ἐν<en>} the {τῇ <ho>} darkness {σκοτίᾳ<skotia>} does → not {οὐκ<ou>} know {οἶδεν<oida>} where {ποῦ<pou>} he → is → going. {ὑπάγει.<hypagō>}

12:36 - While {ὡς<hōs>} you → have {ἔχετε,<echō>} the {τὸ<ho>} light, {φῶς <phōs>} believe {πιστεύετε<pisteuō>} in {εἰς<eis>} the {τὸ<ho>} light, {φῶς,<phōs>} that {ἵνα<hina>} you → may → become {γένησθε.<ginomai>} sons {υἱοὶ<huios>} of → light.” {φωτὸς<phōs>} When • Jesus {Ἰησοῦς,<Iēsous>} had → said {ἐλάλησεν <laleō>} these {ταῦτα<houtos>} things, ← • {καὶ<kai>} he → departed {ἀπελθὼν <aperchomai>} and • hid {ἐκρύβη<kryptō>} himself ← from {ἀπ᾽<apo>} them. {αὐτῶν.<autos>}

John 12:27–36 -

First and foremost, the gospel is the good news of how God reconciles sinners to himself through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. But it is also the story of Jesus’ triumph over all evil and over Satan himself, “the ruler of this world.” Jesus came into the world to destroy him who holds the power of death (that is, the Devil) and to free those “who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery” (Heb. 2:15; cf. 1 John 3:8). His “bruised heel” secured the “crushed head” of the Serpent—fulfilling the first gospel promise (Gen. 3:15).

Satan’s defeat has already been secured, and the clock is ticking on his ultimate demise. His present flurry of fury is actually a sign that he knows his time is short (Rev. 12:12).
