b. The response (12:28b–29): The Father reassures the Son with a loud voice from heaven that is heard by the crowd that this indeed will be done.

3. Jesus and the Passover crowd (12:30–50)

a. The first session (12:30–36)

(1) Jesus tells them both the world and Satan will soon be judged (12:30–31).
