SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:30
Respondi Jess, y dijo: No ha venido esta voz por mi causa, sino por causa de vosotros.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 12:30
Verse 30. This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.] Probably meaning those Greeks who had been brought to him by Philip and Andrew. The Jews had frequent opportunities of seeing his miracles, and of being convinced that he was the Messiah; but these Greeks, who were to be a first fruits of the Gentiles, had never any such opportunity. For their sakes, therefore, to confirm them in the faith, this miraculous voice appears to have come from heaven.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. Jesus answered and said , etc.] To the people that stood by, and were disputing among themselves about what they heard, whether it was thunder, or the voice of an angel: this voice came not because of me ; at least not only and chiefly; it was not so much in answer to his prayer, or in order to comfort him under the apprehensions he had of his sufferings and death, or to assure him of his future glorification, though all this was true: but for your sakes ; to convince them that he was the Messiah, and engage them to believe in him, or to leave them without excuse; since not only miracles were wrought before their eyes, but with their ears they heard God speaking to him, and which is the rule that they themselves prescribe; for according to them, no man is to be hearkened to, though he should do as many signs and wonders as Moses, the son of Amram, unless they hear with their ears, that the Lord speaks to him as he did to Moses f558 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-33 - The sin of our souls was the troubled of Christ's soul, when he undertook to redeem and save us, and to make his soul an offering for our sin. Christ was willing to suffer, yet prayed to be saved from suffering. Prayer against trouble may well agree with patience unde it, and submission to the will of God in it. Our Lord Jesus undertoo to satisfy God's injured honour, and he did it by humbling himself. The voice of the Father from heaven, which had declared him to be his beloved Son, at his baptism, and when he was transfigured, was hear proclaiming that He had both glorified his name, and would glorify it Christ, reconciling the world to God by the merit of his death, brok the power of death, and cast out Satan as a destroyer. Christ, bringin the world to God by the doctrine of his cross, broke the power of sin and cast out Satan as a deceiver. The soul that was at a distance from Christ, is brought to love him and trust him. Jesus was now going to heaven, and he would draw men's hearts to him thither. There is powe in the death of Christ to draw souls to him. We have heard from the gospel that which exalts free grace, and we have heard also that whic enjoins duty; we must from the heart embrace both, and not separat them.
