John Chapter 12 Verse 33

Interpretation of John Chapter 12 Verse 33

In John 12:33, Jesus is referring to his own death when he says “But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.” He is discussing his own death, and the fact that it will be a death of sacrifice. This is the first time in the Gospel of John that Jesus has made a direct reference to his own death, and it is a significant moment for Jesus and his disciples. It serves as a reminder that Jesus is willing to lay down his life for the sake of others and is a powerful statement of his self-sacrifice and love for humanity.
