John 12:36-50

36While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may become sons of light.” Yeshua spoke these things, then left and hid Himself from them.

37But even though He had performed so many signs before them, they weren’t trusting in Him.

38This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet, who said, “Adonai, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of Adonai been revealed?”

39For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah also said,

40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they might not see with their eyes nor understand with their hearts and turn back, and I would heal them.”

41Isaiah said these things because he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

42Nevertheless many, even among the leaders, put their trust in Him. But because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing Yeshua, so they would not be thrown out of the synagogue;

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

44Yeshua cried out, “Whoever puts trust in Me believes not in Me but in the One who sent Me!

45And whoever beholds Me beholds the One who sent Me.

46As light I have come into the world, so that everyone who trusts in Me should not remain in darkness.

47“If anyone hears My words but doesn’t keep them, I do not judge him; for I came to save the world, not to judge the world.

48The one who rejects Me and doesn’t receive My words has a judge; the word I spoke will judge him on the last day.

49For I did not speak on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and speak.

50And I know that His commandment is life everlasting. Therefore what I say, I say just as the Father has told Me.”
