But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on
him: that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he
spake,
"Lord, who hath believed our report?
And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again,
"He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart;
Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their
heart,
And should turn,
And I should heal them."
These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of him.
Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the
Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the
synagogue: for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that
is of God.
And Jesus cried and said, "He that believeth on me, believeth not on me,
but on him that sent me. And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that
sent me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on
me may not abide in the darkness. And if any man hear my sayings, and
keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but
to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings,
hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge
him in the last day. For I spake not from myself; but the Father that
sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I
should speak. And I know that his commandment is life eternal; the things
therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak."
