* But although He had done so many signs before them , they did not believe in Him , * that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled , which he spoke : "Lord , who has believed our report ? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed ?" * Therefore they could not believe , because Isaiah said again : * "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts , Lest they should see with their eyes , Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn , So that I should heal them ." * These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him . * Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him , but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him , lest they should be put out of the synagogue ; * for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God . * Then 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 as a light into the world , that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness . * And if anyone hears My words and does not believe , I do not judge him ; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world . * He who rejects Me , and does not receive My words , has that which judges him--the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day . * For I have not spoken on My own authority ; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command , what I should say and what I should speak . * And I know that His command is everlasting life . Therefore , whatever I speak , just as the Father has told Me , so I speak ."
