Who is the prince of the world?

[Kaileymarie]

In John chapter 14 Jesus says..

"30 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, 31 but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me."Come now; let us leave."


Who is he referring to as the prince of the world?
