THE GOSPEL
John 12:31-36a
Jesus said, “Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world
will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all
people to myself.” He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die. The
crowd answered him, “We have heard from the law that the Messiah remains
forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this
Son of Man?” Jesus said to them, “The light is with you for a little longer.
Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If
you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going. While you
have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.”
