John 12:38-40
International Children’s Bible

38 This was to make clear the full meaning of what Isaiah the prophet said:

“Lord, who believed the things we told them?
    Who has seen the Lord’s power?” Isaiah 53:1

39 This is why the people could not believe: Isaiah also said,

40 “He has blinded their eyes.
    He has closed their minds.
This is so that they will not see with their eyes
    nor understand in their minds.
This is so they will not
    come back to me and be forgiven.” Isaiah 6:10

John 12:38-40
New International Version

38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:

“Lord, who has believed our message
    and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”[a](A)

39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:

40 “He has blinded their eyes
    and hardened their hearts,
so they can neither see with their eyes,
    nor understand with their hearts,
    nor turn—and I would heal them.”[b](B)
