John 12:37–50

³⁷But though he had done so many signs before them, they believed not on him, ³⁸that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? ³⁹On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again, ⁴⁰He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them. ⁴¹These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

⁴²Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess him, that they might not be put out of the synagogue: ⁴³for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.

⁴⁴But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me; ⁴⁵and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me. ⁴⁶I am come into the world as light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness; ⁴⁷and if any one hear my words and do not keep them, I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. ⁴⁸He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day. ⁴⁹For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak; ⁵⁰and I know that his commandment is life eternal. What therefore I speak, as the Father has said to me, so I speak.
