John 12:37-50 ▼

37 And He having done so many miracles in their presence, they were not believing on Him,

38 in order that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

39 Wherefore were they not able to believe, because Isaiah again said,

40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; in order that they may not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and turn, and I shall heal them.

41 Isaiah said these things, because he saw His glory; and spoke concerning Him.

42 Nevertheless indeed many of the rulers also believed on Him; but they were not confessing Him on account of the Pharisees, in order that they might not be put out of the synagogues:

43 for they loved the glory of the people more than the glory of God.

44 But Jesus cried out and said; The one believing on me, believes not on me, but on Him that sent me,

45 and the one seeing me, sees the one that sent me.

46 I have come a light into the world, in order that every one believing on me may not abide in darkness.

47 And if any one may hear my words, and not keep them, I do not judge him: for I came not that I may judge the world, but that I may save the world.

48 He that rejects me, and receiving not my words, has one judging him: the word which I have spoken, it will judge him in the last day.

49 Because I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father Himself having sent me, gave me commandment, what I shall speak, and what I shall say.

50 And I know that His commandment is eternal life. Now whatsoever thing I say, as the Father has spoken unto me, so I say.
