New TestamentJohnThe Explanation of the Jews’ Unbelief · 12:37–4312:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:12:38 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?12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,12:40 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.12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
