John 12:32

"Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out."

Key Reflection

In John 12:32, Jesus declares that his impending death and resurrection mark a pivotal moment when spiritual authority is shifted. The "prince of this world" refers to Satan, who will be dislodged from his dominion, paving the way for God's judgment and the establishment of Christ's kingdom.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 32. Be lifted up. See Joh 3:14; 8:28. Will draw. Joh 6:44. The same word is used in both places. All men. I will incline all kinds of men; or will make the way open by the cross, so that all men may come. I will provide a way which shall present a strong motive or inducement--the strongest that can be presented--to all men to come to me. {g} "lifted up" Joh 8:28 {h} "will draw all men" Ro 5:18 __________________________________________________________________
