John 12:36-43

36WhileG2193 ye haveG2192 lightG5457, believeG4100 inG1519 the lightG5457, thatG2443 ye may beG1096 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457. These thingsG5023 spokeG2980 JesusG2424, and departedG565, andG2532 was hiddenG2928 fromG575 themG846.

37ButG1161 though heG846 had doneG4160 so manyG5118 miraclesG4592 beforeG1715 themG846, yet they believedG4100 notG3756 onG1519 himG846: 38ThatG2443 the sayingG3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396 might be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 he spokeG2036, LordG2962, whoG5101 hath believedG4100 ourG2257 reportG189? andG2532 to whomG5101 hath the armG1023 of the LordG2962 been revealedG601? 39ThereforeG5124G1223 they couldG1410 notG3756 believeG4100, becauseG3754 that IsaiahG2268 saidG2036 againG3825, 40He hath blindedG5186 theirG846 eyesG3788, andG2532 hardenedG4456 theirG846 heartG2588; thatG3363 they shouldG1492 notG3363 seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, norG2532 understandG3539 with their heartG2588, andG2532 be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846. 41These thingsG5023 saidG2036 IsaiahG2268, whenG3753 he sawG1492 hisG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 spokeG2980 ofG4012 himG846.

42NeverthelessG3676G3305 amongG1537 the chief rulersG758 alsoG2532 manyG4183 believedG4100 onG1519 himG846; butG235 becauseG1223 of the PhariseesG5330 they didG3670 notG3756 confessG3670 him, lestG3363 they should beG1096 put out of the synagogueG656: 43ForG1063 they lovedG25 the praiseG1391 of menG444 moreG3123 thanG2260 the praiseG1391 of GodG2316.
