CommentJohn ChrysostomPublic domainJohn 12:27–33

The voice though loud and distinct, soon passed off from their gross, carnal, and sluggish minds; only the sound remaining. Others perceived an articulate voice, but did not catch what it said: Others said, An Angel spake to Him.

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

Reproduced in full. Translation: Oxford 1841 (Newman), public domain (Public domain).
