John 12:30 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Came not because of me - Not to strengthen or confirm me; not that I had any doubts about my course, or any apprehension that God would not approve me and glorify his name.

For your sakes - To give you a striking and indubitable proof that I am the Messiah; that you may remember it when I am departed, and be yourselves comforted, supported, and saved.

John 12:30

30 Jesus answered and said,This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
