SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:27–36b: Jesus talked about his death

Jesus spoke about his coming death. He said that he was disturbed by what was going to happen, but that was why he came to earth. He prayed that his Father God would reveal his glory in Jesus’ death. God answered that had already revealed his glory and that he would do it again.

Jesus said that the time had now come for God to judge the world and drive out Satan. And Jesus’ death would attract people to him. But the people there were confused because they did not think that the Messiah would die. Jesus told them to believe in the light, which was himself.

Here are some other possible titles for this section:

Jesus’ death will attract people to himself

What Jesus’ death would do

12:33

He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.

He said this to indicate how he was going to die. (GW)
(Jesus was talking about the way that they/people would kill him.)

He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die: This sentence is a parenthetical comment by the author John. See the General Comment on 12:33. The expression He said this refers back to Jesus saying that he would be lifted up from the earth (12:32a). Here is another way to translate this sentence:

By saying this, he indicated how he was going to die (GW)

to indicate the kind of death He was going to die: This phrase means that Jesus was telling them indirectly how he would die. The Greek word that the BSB translates as indicate means “show,” “make known,” or “make clear.” Jesus knew that he would die on a cross. He used a figure of speech, “lifted up from the earth,” to let the people know how he would die. Here are other ways to translate this whole sentence:

Jesus was talking about the way he would be put to death. (CEV)

Jesus said this to show how he would die. (NCV)

the kind of death He was going to die: This phrase refers to the way that Jesus would die. It is best not to say that he would be crucified, though if necessary you can include it in a footnote. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

the kind of death he would die (NJB)

how he would die (NCV)

General Comment on 12:33

Verse 12:33 is a parenthetical statement by the author John. It explains the background of Jesus’ words. In some languages it may be natural to show that this is background information by using parentheses. For example:

(In saying this he indicated the kind of death he was going to suffer.) (GNT)

(Now he said this to indicate clearly what kind of death he was going to die.) (NET)
