What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Cyril of Alexandria
Hereby the Evangelist showed that the Lord did not suffer in ignorance, but voluntarily; and with full knowledge, not only that He was dying, but also in what manner: and He named the Cross [as His] death.
Theophylact of Ohrid
"When I am lifted up" – He said this, giving to understand what kind of death He would die, that is, He would be crucified, for by this is signified the height of the Cross.
Western Saints
Bonaventure
But this he said, signifying by what death he was to die: namely by the death of the cross, which was the most vile. Wisdom two: "Let us condemn him to a most shameful death."
