39 And therefore they could not believe; for Esaias had also said, 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 41 These things said Esaias when he saw his glory, and spake concerning Him. 42 There were however many of the chief rulers that believed on Him; but because of the pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be excommunicated. 43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 44 And Jesus raised his voice, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me only, but on Him that sent me: 45 and he that beholdeth me, beholdeth Him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me, might not abide in darkness. 47 And if any one hear my words and believe not, I do not condemn him: for I am not now come to condemn the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word, that I have spoken, will condemn him at the last day. 49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father, who sent me, gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, I so speak, as the Father hath directed me.
