John 12:40-42

International Standard Version

⁴⁰“He has blinded their eyes
    and hardened their heart,
so that they might not perceive with their eyes,
    and understand with their mind^[a] and turn,
        and I would heal them.”^[b]

⁴¹Isaiah said this when^[c] he saw his glory and spoke about him. ⁴²Yet many people, even some of the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not admit it so they would not be thrown out of the synagogue.
