Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
All Commentaries on John 12:31 Go To John 12
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Now is the judgment of the world: Their condemnation, says St. Chrysostom, for not believing.
The prince of this world, that is, the devil, shall be cast out from that great tyranny, which he had over mankind, before Christ's incarnation. (Witham)
By these words Christ informs the Gentiles that wished to see him, that soon he would punish the incredulous Jews, and cast off their synagogue, for their malice and insatiable hatred against him; and that the prince of this world, that is, the worship of idols, should be destroyed, and all called to the true faith. (Calmet)
