John 12:37–50

³⁷Yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him, ³⁸that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, ‘Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord—to whom was it revealed?’ ³⁹Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said, ⁴⁰‘He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;’ ⁴¹these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

⁴²Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue, ⁴³for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

⁴⁴And Jesus cried and said, ‘He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me; ⁴⁵and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me; ⁴⁶I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me—in the darkness may not remain; ⁴⁷and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I—I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.

⁴⁸‘He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day, ⁴⁹because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak, ⁵⁰and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.’
