32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all to myself. 33 This said he, signifying what death he was about to die. 34 The crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ remains forever: and how sayest thou That the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? 35 Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little time the light is with you. Walk while ye have light, lest darkness overtake you: and he walking in darkness knows not where he retires. 36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye might be the sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and having departed, he was hid from them. 37 And he having done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him: 38 That the word of Esaias the prophet might be completed, which he spake, Lord, who believed our report? and to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed? 39 Therefore they could not believe, for Esaias said again, 40 He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart: lest they see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and should turn back, and I should heal them. 41 These said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. 42 Yet nevertheless also many of the rulers believed in him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge, lest they should be excluded from the synagogue: 43 For they loved the honour of men more than the honour of God. 44 Jesus cried and said, He believing in me, believes not in me, but in him having sent me. 45 And he seeing me, sees him having sent me. 46 I have come a light into the world, that every one believing in me should not remain in darkness. 47 And if any hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. 48 He rejecting me, and not receiving my words, has him judging him: the word which I spake, that shall judge him in the last day. 49 For I spake not of myself; but the Father having sent me, he gave me a command, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his command is life eternal: therefore what I speak, as the Father said to me, so I speak.
