John12:32
Be lifted up. See Jn 3:14, 8:28.
Will draw. Jn 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.
(g) "lifted up" Jn 8:28 (h) "will draw all men" Rom 5:18
