John 12:37-43

37But though He had performed so many 1signs in their sight, they still were not believing in Him. 38This happened so that the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke would be fulfilled: “2Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” 39For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again, 40“3He has blinded their eyes and He 4hardened their heart, so that they will not see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and 5be converted, and so I will not heal them.” 41These things Isaiah said because 6he saw His glory, and 7he spoke about Him. 42Nevertheless 8many, even of 9the rulers, believed in Him, but 10because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, so that they would not be 11excommunicated from the synagogue; 43 12for they loved the 13approval of people rather than the 14approval of God.
