John 12:37-50

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. 42NeverthelessG3676G3305G2532, manyG4183 ofG1537 theG3588 leadersG758 believedG4100 inG1519 HimG846. ButG235 because ofG1223 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 they did not confessG3756G3670 Him, for fear thatG2443G3361 they would beG1096 put out of the synagogueG656. 43ForG1063 they lovedG25 praiseG1391 from menG444 moreG3123 thanG2260 praiseG1391 from GodG2316.

44ThenG1161 JesusG2424 cried outG2896G2532G2036, “WhoeverG3588 believesG4100 inG1519 MeG1473 does notG3756 believeG4100 inG1519 MeG1473 alone, butG235 inG1519 theG3588 One who sentG3992 MeG1473. 45AndG2532 whoeverG3588 seesG2334 MeG1473 seesG2334 theG3588 One who sentG3992 MeG1473. 46IG1473 have comeG2064 intoG1519 theG3588 worldG2889 as a lightG5457, so thatG2443 no oneG3956G3361 whoG3588 believesG4100 inG1519 MeG1473 should remainG3306 inG1722 darknessG4653.

As forG1437 anyone whoG5100 hearsG191 MyG1473 wordsG4487 andG2532 does notG3361 keepG5442 them, IG1473 do notG3756 judgeG2919 himG846. ForG1063 I have not comeG3756G2064 toG2443 judgeG2919 theG3588 worldG2889, butG235 toG2443 saveG4982 theG3588 worldG2889. 48There isG2192 a judgeG2919 for theG3588 one who rejectsG114 MeG1473 andG2532 does not receiveG3361G2983 MyG1473 wordsG4487: TheG3588 wordG3056 thatG3739 I have spokenG2980 will judgeG2919 himG846 onG1722 theG3588 lastG2078 dayG2250.

IG1473 have notG3756 spokenG2980 onG1537 My ownG1683, butG235 theG3588 FatherG3962 who sentG3992 MeG1473 has commanded MeG1325G1473G1785 whatG5101 to sayG2036 andG2532 howG5101 to say itG2980. 50AndG2532 I knowG1492 thatG3754 HisG846 commandG1785 leads toG1510 eternalG166 lifeG2222. SoG3767 IG1473 speakG2980 exactlyG2531 whatG3739 theG3588 FatherG3962 has toldG2046 MeG1473 to sayG2980.”
