The People Still Refuse To Believe
37 Although He had performed so many wonder-works right before their eyes, they did not believe in Him,

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, because that Esaias said again,
39 For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
39 This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said:

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 And yet in spite of all this, even among the leading men many came to believe in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not own it, for fear of being turned out of the synagogue,
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
