SCRIPTURE

"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself." — John 12:32 (ASV)

Be lifted up. See John 3:14; John 8:28.

Will draw. John 6:44. The same word is used in both places.

All men. I will incline all kinds of men; or will make the way open by the cross, so that all men may come. I will provide a way which shall present a strong motive or inducement—the strongest that can be presented—to all men to come to me.
