Even though they had seen Jesus doing many big works ,
they did not believe in him .
*
What the prophet Isaiah said came true .
He said ,
Lord ,
who has believed what we told them ?
Who has believed even though they have seen the power of Gods hand ?

So they could not believe .
Isaiah said also ,
God has made them blind .
Their hearts have no feeling .
They cannot see .
They do not understand with their heart .
They will not turn to God .
If they did turn ,
he would heal them .
*
Isaiah said this about the Christ when he saw how great he was .
*
Some of the chief rulers believed in Jesus ,
but they did not tell anyone that they believed in him .
They were afraid the Pharisees would put them out of the meeting place .
*
They wanted the praise of men more than the praise of God .
*
Jesus called out ,
Anyone who believes in me does not believe just in me ,
but in the one who sent me .
*
Anyone who sees me sees the one who sent me .
*
I am a light and have come into the world .
Anyone who believes in me will not be in the dark .
*
If anyone hears what I say and does not believe it ,
I do not judge him .
I did not come to judge the world .
I came to save the world .
*
The one who will not believe in me and will not listen to what I say will be judged anyway .
The same things that I have said will judge him on the last day .
*
I have not said this from my own mind ,
but my Father who sent me told me what to say .
He told me what to tell you .
*
I know that what he told me to say has power to give life for ever .
So I say everything my Father has told me to say .
