John 12:38-40
New Testament for Everyone

38 This was so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled:

Lord, who believed the story we told?
Your powerful arm—who saw it unveiled?

39 That’s why they couldn’t believe. As Isaiah again put it,

40 He has caused their eyes to be blind,
and caused their hearts to be hard;
so they wouldn’t see with their eyes,
or understand with their hearts,
or turn, so that I could heal them.

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)
