John 12:39-50 ▼

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.

44 Iesus cryed, and sayde: He that beleueth on me, beleueth not on me, but on hym that sent me.

45 And he that seeth me, seeth hym that sent me.

46 I am come a lyght into ye worlde, that whosoeuer beleueth on me, should not byde in darknesse.

47 And yf any man heare my wordes, and beleue not, I iudge hym not: For I came not to iudge the worlde, but to saue the worlde.

48 He that refuseth me, & receaueth not my wordes, hath one that iudgeth him: The worde that I haue spoken, the same shall iudge hym in the last day.

49 For I haue not spoken of my selfe: but the father which sent me, he gaue me a commaundement what I should say, and what I shoulde speake.

50 And I knowe that his commaundement is lyfe euerlastyng. Whatsoeuer I speake therfore, euen as the father bad me, so I speake.
