John 12:36-50

36While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them.

37Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him,

38so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: "Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

39Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said,

40"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them."

41Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

42Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue;

43for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.

44And Jesus cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.

45And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.

46I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.

47If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

48The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

49For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.

50And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me."
