John 12:34-36

Living Bible

³⁴ “Die?” asked the crowd. “We understood that the Messiah would live forever and never die. Why are you saying he will die? What Messiah are you talking about?”

³⁵ Jesus replied, “My light will shine out for you just a little while longer. Walk in it while you can, and go where you want to go before the darkness falls, for then it will be too late for you to find your way. ³⁶ Make use of the Light while there is still time; then you will become light bearers.”^[a]

After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.
