But though He had performed so many ^[n]signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.

This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: "^(bj) 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,

"^(bk) He has blinded their eyes and He ^(bl) hardened their heart, so that they would not see with their eyes and perceive with their heart, and ^[o] be converted and I heal them ."

These things Isaiah said because ^(bm)he saw His glory, and ^(bn)he spoke of Him.

Nevertheless ^(bo)many even of ^(bp)the rulers believed in Him, but ^(bq)because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be ^[p](br)put out of the synagogue;

^(bs)for they loved the ^[q]approval of men rather than the ^[r]approval of God.

And Jesus cried out and said, "^(bt)He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.

^(bu)He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

^(bv)I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

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

^(bx)He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; ^(by)the word I spoke is what will judge him at ^(bz)the last day.

^(ca)For I did not speak ^[s]on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me ^(cb)has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

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