John 12:34-36

New Testament for Everyone

³⁴ So the crowd spoke to him again.

“We heard in the law,” they said, “that the Messiah will last forever. How can you say that the son of man must be lifted up? Who is this ‘son of man’?”

³⁵ “The light is among you a little while longer,” replied Jesus. “Keep walking while you have the light, in case the darkness overcomes you. People who walk in the dark don’t know where they’re going. ³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may be children of light.”

With these words, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.
