37 But though he had done so many miracles in their presence, yet they did not believe on him:
37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

38 so that the passage of Esaias the prophet was fulfilled, where he says, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
38 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?
38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: “(BJ)Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
38 But this was to fulfill(BD) the word of Isaiah(BE) the prophet, who said:(k)Lord, who has believed our message?And who has the arm(BF) of the Lordbeen revealed to?(BG)(l)
38 so that what the prophet Isaiah spoke might be fulfilled when he said: "Lord, who has believed our message, and to whom has the Lord's power been revealed?"
39 therefore they could not believe, according to what Esaias said in another place, "he hath blinded their eyes,

39 This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said:
39 This is why they could not believe: Isaiah also said,
40 and hardned their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them."
40 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.
40 “(BK)He has blinded their eyes and He (BL)hardened their heart, so that they would not see with their eyes and perceive with their heart, and (o)be converted and I heal them.”
40 He has blinded(BH) their eyesand hardened their hearts,(BI)so that they would not see with their eyesor understand with their hearts,and be converted,(BJ)and I would heal them.(BK)(m)
40 "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not perceive with their eyes, and understand with their mind and turn, and I would heal them."
42 nevertheless there were many even among the chief rulers, who believed on him; but they did not own it publickly for fear the Pharisees should excommunicate them.
42 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:
42 Nevertheless (BO)many even of (BP)the rulers believed in Him, but (BQ)because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be (p)(BR)put out of the synagogue;
42 Nevertheless, many did believe in Him even among the rulers,(BM) but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, so they would not be banned from the synagogue.
42 Yet many people, even some of the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not admit it so they would not be thrown out of the synagogue.
Jesus' Final Public Appeal
44 Then Jesus rais'd his voice, and said, he that believeth on me, does not so much believe on me, as on him that sent me.
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
44 And Jesus cried out and said, “(BT)He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.
44 Then Jesus cried out, “The one who believes in Me(BP) believes not in Me, but in Him who sent Me.

49 for I have not spoken for my self; but the father who sent me, he commission'd me, what I should teach, and what I should speak.
49 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.
49 (CA)For I did not speak (s)on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me (CB)has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.
