Jesus said, 'This voice was for your benefit, not mine. Now is the time for judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out — Jesus explains that the voice serves the crowd's faith, not His own needs; He already knows the Father's purpose. The statement announces two realities coinciding with His hour: judgment of the world (krisis tou kosmou, the world's rejection of truth) and the casting out of the prince of this world (ho archōn tou kosmou, Satan), whose rule is broken by Jesus' death and resurrection.
