John 12:35-50

35Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.

36While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.

37But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him,

38that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

39Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.”

41These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

42Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

43for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

44Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me.

45And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.

46I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.

47And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

48He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

49For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.

50And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”
