John 12:39-50 ▼

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.
