"He has made their eyes blind and their minds dull, To keep them from seeing with their eyes, and understanding with their minds, And turning to me to be cured." Isaiah said this because he saw his glory; it was of him that he spoke. Yet for all that, even among the leading men, many came to believe in him, but on account of the Pharisees they would not acknowledge it, for fear of being excluded from the synagogues, for they cared more for the approval of men than for the approval of God. But Jesus cried loudly, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who has sent me; and whoever sees me, sees him who has sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me may have to remain in darkness. If anyone hears my words and disregards them, it is not I that judge him, for I have not come to judge the world but to save the world. Whoever rejects me and refuses to accept my teachings is not without his judge; the very message I have given will be his judge on the Last Day, for I have not spoken on my account, but the Father who has sent me has himself given me orders what to tell and what to say. And I know his orders mean eternal life. So whatever I say, I say only as the Father has told me."

I know that you are descended from Abraham, yet you want to kill me, because there is no room in your hearts for my teaching.

The devil is the father you are sprung from, and you want to carry out your father's wishes. He was a murderer from the first, and he has nothing to do with the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in his true character, for he is a liar and the father of them. But because I tell the truth you will not believe me. Who among you can prove me guilty of sin? But if I tell you the truth, why do you refuse to believe me? Whoever is sprung from God listens to God's words. The reason you refuse to listen is that you are not sprung from God."

and I give them eternal life, and they shall never be lost, and no one shall tear them out of my hands. What my Father has intrusted to me is of more importance than everything else, and no one can tear anything out of the Father's hands. The Father and I are one."
