* But although having done so many signs before them , they did not believe in him , * so that the word of Isaiah the prophet that he spoke might be fulfilled : Lord , who has believed our report ? And to whom has the arm of Lord been revealed ? * Because of this they could not believe . Because Isaiah said again , * He has blinded their eyes , and has hardened their heart , so that they would not see with their eyes , and understand with their heart , and be turned , and I would heal them . * Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory , and spoke about him . * Yet , nevertheless , even many of the rulers believed in him , but because of the Pharisees they did not confess , so that they would not become excommunicated from the synagogue , * for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God . * And Jesus cried out and said , He who believes in me , believes not in me , but in him who sent me . * And he who sees me sees him who sent me . * I have come a light into the world , so that every man who believes in me may not remain in the darkness . * And if any man hears my sayings , and will not believe , I do not judge him , for I came not so that I might judge the world , but that I might save the world . * He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings , has that which judges him : the word that I spoke , that will judge him in the last day . * Because I spoke not from myself , but the Father who sent me , he gave me commandment , what I should say , and what I should speak . * And I know that his commandment is eternal life . Therefore what things I speak , just as the Father has said to me , so I speak .
