John 12:29 Context
27Now is my soule troubled, and what shall I say? Father, saue me from this houre, but for this cause came I vnto this houre. 28Father, glorifie thy Name. Then came there a voice from heauen, saying, I haue both glorified it, and wil glorifie it againe. 29The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, that it thundered: others said, An Angel spake to him. 30Iesus answered, and said, This voice came not because of mee, but for your sakes. 31Now is the iudgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

Wesley's Notes for John 12:29
12:29 The multitude who stood and heard - A sound, but not the distinct words - In the most glorious revelations there may remain something obscure, to exercise our faith. Said, It thundered - Thunder did frequently attend a voice from heaven. Perhaps it did so now.
