³⁷Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him, ³⁸oso that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

p“Lord, who has believed what he heard from us,

and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

³⁹Therefore they qcould not believe. For again Isaiah said,

⁴⁰r“He has blinded their eyes

and shardened their heart,

lest they see with their eyes,

and understand with their heart, and turn,

and I would heal them.”

⁴¹Isaiah said these things because the saw his glory and uspoke of him. ⁴²Nevertheless, vmany even of the authorities believed in him, but wfor fear of the Pharisees they did not xconfess it, so that they would not be xput out of the synagogue; ⁴³yfor they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.

Jesus Came to Save the World

⁴⁴And Jesus cried out and said, z“Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but ain him who sent me. ⁴⁵And bwhoever csees me sees him who sent me. ⁴⁶dI have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷If anyone ehears my words and does not keep them, fI do not judge him; for gI did not come to judge the world but to save the world. ⁴⁸hThe one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; ithe word that I have spoken will judge him jon the last day. ⁴⁹For kI have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father lwho sent me has himself given me ma commandment—what to say and what to speak. ⁵⁰And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”
