John 12:33
This he said, signifying what death he should die.
This he said,.... These are the words of the evangelist, interpreting the design of Christ in the above words, thereby
signifying what death he should die; the phrase of being lifted up from the earth, not only signified his death, but the kind, or manner of it, that it should be by crucifixion; a person crucified being stretched forth upon a cross, and that erected, was lifted up between earth and heaven.
