But though He had performed so many ^(F1)signs in their sight, they still were not believing in Him.

This happened so that the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke would be fulfilled: "^(C1)LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?"

For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,

"^(C1)HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE ^(C2)HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WILL NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND ^(F1)BE CONVERTED, AND SO I WILL NOT HEAL THEM."

These things Isaiah said because ^(C1)he saw His glory, and ^(C2)he spoke about Him.

Nevertheless ^(C1)many, even of ^(C2)the rulers, believed in Him, but ^(C3)because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, so that they would not be ^(C4)excommunicated from the synagogue;

^(C1)for they loved the ^(F1)approval of people rather than the ^(F1)approval of God.

Now Jesus cried out and said, "^(C1)The one who believes in Me, does not believe only in Me, but also in Him who sent Me.

"And ^(C1)the one who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.

"^(C1)I have come as Light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me will remain in darkness.

"If anyone hears My ^(F1)teachings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for ^(C1)I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

"^(C1)The one who rejects Me and does not ^(F1)accept My ^(F2)teachings has one who judges him: ^(C2)the word which I spoke. That will judge him on ^(C3)the last day.

"^(C1)For I did not speak ^(F1)on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me ^(C2)has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

"And I know that ^(C1)His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak ^(C2)just as the Father has told Me."
