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

But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

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

That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

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

Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

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

He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

for they loved the approval of people rather than the approval of God.

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