John 12:36-41

36WhileG5613 you haveG2192 theG3588 LightG5457, believeG4100 inG1519 theG3588 LightG5457, so thatG2443 you may becomeG1096 sonsG5207 of lightG5457.”

After JesusG2424 had spokenG2980 these thingsG3778, He went awayG565 and was hiddenG2928 fromG575 themG846.

37AlthoughG1161 Jesus had performedG4160 so manyG5118 signsG4592 in their presenceG1715G846, they still did not believeG3756G4100 inG1519 HimG846. 38This wasG2443 to fulfillG4137 theG3588 wordG3056 of IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396:

“LordG2962, whoG5101 has believedG4100 ourG1473 messageG189?AndG2532 to whomG5101 has theG3588 armG1023 of the LordG2962 been revealedG601?”1

39For this reasonG1223G3778 they were unableG1410G3756 to believeG4100. ForG3754 againG3825, IsaiahG2268 saysG2036:

40“He has blindedG5186 theirG846 eyesG3788andG2532 hardenedG4456 theirG846 heartsG2588,so thatG2443 they cannot seeG3361G3708 withG3588 their eyesG3788,andG2532 understandG3539 withG3588 their heartsG2588,andG2532 turnG4762,andG2532 I would healG2390 themG846.”2

41IsaiahG2268 saidG2036 these thingsG3778 becauseG3754 he sawG3708 Jesus’ gloryG1391 andG2532 spokeG2980 aboutG4012 HimG846.
