Thematic Bible: Who loves the praise of men more than the praise of God

And he having done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him: That the word of Esaias the prophet might be completed, which he spake, Lord, who believed our report? and to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed? Therefore they could not believe, for Esaias said again, read more.
He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart: lest they see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and should turn back, and I should heal them. These said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. Yet nevertheless also many of the rulers believed in him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge, lest they should be excluded from the synagogue: For they loved the honour of men more than the honour of God.
