And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” 39 For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again, 40 (B)He has blinded their eyes and He (C)hardened their heart, so that they will not see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and [b]be converted, and so I will not heal them.” 41 These things Isaiah said because (D)he saw His glory, and (E)he spoke about Him. 42 Nevertheless (F)many, even of (G)the rulers, believed in Him, but (H)because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, so that they would not be (I)excommunicated from the synagogue; 43 (J)for they loved the [c]approval of people rather than the [d]approval of God.
