"Many people, because they had heard that he had given this miraculous sign, went out to meet him. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world [greek = cosmos] has gone after him!” -- John 12:18-19Does world in this context mean all people who have ever lived and will ever live? Obviously not. The scope of the term world must be determined by context. Otherwise, this passage makes no sense. In this passage the word world is hyperbole and means "a whole lot of folks!"
That was the pharisees using hyperbole. It wasn't Jesus speaking. It wasn't God's word, it was the word of the Pharisees. You will need a better verse than that to show that when
Jesus said the whole world, Jesus did not mean the
whole world!
Was our Lord prone to this same hyperbole as the Pharisees? I think not. Prove me wrong.
