New Testament

John 12:37-47 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

37. But as many signs as he had performed before them, they did not believe in him,

38. in order that the word of the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said, “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

39. For this reason they were not able to believe, because again Isaiah said,

40. “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and turn, and I heal them.”

41. Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and he spoke about him.

42. Yet despite that, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be expelled from the synagogue.

43. For they loved the praise of men more than praise from God.

44. But Jesus cried out and said, “The one who believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me,

45. and the one who sees me sees the one who sent me.

46. I have come as a light into the world, in order that everyone who believes in me will not remain in the darkness.

47. And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I will not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
