John:12:37-50

*
But though he had done so many miracles before them ,
yet they believed not on him :
*
That the saying of Esaias 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 ?
*
Therefore they could not believe ,
because that Esaias said again ,
*
He hath blinded their eyes ,
and hardened their heart ;
that they should not see with their eyes ,
nor understand with their heart ,
and be converted ,
and I should heal them .
*
These things said Esaias ,
when he saw his glory ,
and spake of him .
*
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on 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 .
*
Jesus cried and said ,
He that believeth on me ,
believeth not on me ,
but on him that sent me .
*
And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me .
*
I am come a light into the world ,
that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness .
*
And if any man hear my words ,
and believe 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 words ,
hath one that judgeth him :
the word that I have spoken ,
the same shall judge him in the last day .
*
For I have not spoken of myself ;
but the Father which sent me ,
he gave me a commandment ,
what I should say ,
and what I should speak .
*
And I know that his commandment is life everlasting :
whatsoever I speak therefore ,
even as the Father said unto me ,
so I speak .
