John 12:37–50

³⁷But although He had done so many ^psigns before them, they did not believe in Him, ³⁸that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:

^q“Lord, who has believed our report?

And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

³⁹Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

⁴⁰“He ^rhas blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,

^sLest they should see with their eyes,

Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,

So that I should heal them.”

^41tThese things Isaiah said ⁶when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

⁴²Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but ^ubecause of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; ^43vfor they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

⁴⁴Then Jesus cried out and said, ^w“He who believes in Me, ^xbelieves not in Me ^ybut in Him who sent Me. ⁴⁵And ^zhe who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. ^46aI have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. ⁴⁷And if anyone hears My words and does not ⁷believe, ^bI do not judge him; for ^cI did not come to judge the world but to save the world. ^48dHe who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—^ethe word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. ⁴⁹For ^fI have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, ^gwhat I should say and what I should speak. ⁵⁰And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I ^hspeak.”
