katapi HOME John 12:36-43 - The Unbelief of the Jews  Jn.12.36-43 (Olivet)12 36 While you have the light, trust to the light, so that you may become men of light.' After these words Jesus went away from them into hiding.

12 37 IN SPITE OF the many signs which Jesus had performed in their presence they would not believe in him, 12 38 [ Is.53.1. ] for the prophet Isaiah's utterance had to be fulfilled: 'Lord, who has believed what we reported, and to whom has the Lord's power been revealed?' 12 39 So it was that they could not believe, for there is another saying of Isaiah's:

12 40 [ Is.6.9-10. ] 'He has blinded their eyes and dulled their minds, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their minds, and turn to me to heal them.'
12 41 Isaiah said this because Some witnesses read: when. he saw his glory and spoke about him.
12 42 For all that, even among those in authority a number believed in him, but would not acknowledge him on account of the Pharisees, for fear of being banned from the synagogue. 12 43 For they valued their reputation with men rather than the honour which comes from God.
