Simple English
'My Father sent me so I could be lifted up on the cross. After I was lifted up on the cross, I could draw all people to me. I have been lifted up by people. In the same way, people will be lifted up by the Father. They will stand before me to be judged for their works. I will judge if their works are good or if they are evil.'
