Juan 12:34-36

34-36. From chapter 13 to chapter 17, inclusive, the Evangelist narrates the discourse of our Lord to the circle of his disciples after the close of his public ministry to the world, preparatory to his death. Previous to that John occupies the remainder of this chapter in giving the Lord’s closing utterances to the Jews. So that in fact nearly half the Gospel of John is occupied with the scenes of passion week. In this paragraph we have their final cavil and his final admonition. In paragraph 37-43 John gives a summary of the unbelieving rejection of Jesus by the people. In paragraph 44-50, he gives a summary of the general preaching of Jesus, which was by them rejected.
