John 12:39-50 ▼

39 For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah had said again;

40 ?He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.?

41 These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

42 However, notwithstanding, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not make open profession, lest they should be put out of the synagogues:

43 for they loved honour from men, more than honour from God.

44 Then Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

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

46 I am come a light into the world, that every one who believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

47 And if any man, hearing my words, believeth not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 He that sets me at nought, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: even the word which I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last day.

49 Because I have not spoken of myself; but the Farther who has sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life eternal: therefore the things which I speak to you, just as the Father spake to me, so speak I.
