John 12:37-43 ▼

37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleued not they on hym,

38 That the saying of Esaias the prophete myght be fulfylled, which he spake: Lorde, who shall beleue our saying? And to whom is the arme of the Lorde declared?

39 Therfore coulde they not beleue, because that Esaias sayth agayne:

40 He hath blynded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they shoulde not see with their eyes, & lest they should vnderstande with their hearte, & should be conuerted, and I should heale them.

41 Such thynges sayde Esaias, when he sawe his glory, and spake of hym.

42 Neuerthelesse, among ye chiefe rulers also, many beleued on hym: But because of the pharisees, they dyd not confesse hym, lest they should be excomunicate.

43 For they loued the prayse of men, more then the prayse of God.
