John 12:36-43 - The Unbelief Of The People
36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become Sons of Light."
37 With these words Jesus went away and hid himself from them. But although he had wrought such signs in their presence, still they did not believe in him. 38 So the words spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, were fulfilled. Lord, who hath believed our message, And to whom hath the Arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 This was why they could not believe, because Isaiah said again.
40 He hath blinded their eyes and make their hearts hard, Lest they should see with their eyes, perceive with their minds, And should turn, and I should heal them.
41 Isaiah uttered these words because he saw his glory, and he spoke of him.
42 Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed on him, but did not confess in on account of the Pharisees, for fear lest they be put out of the Synagogue. 43 For they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.
