John 12:37-50

English Standard Version

³⁷Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him, ³⁸^(A)so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

^(B)“Lord, who has believed what he heard from us,
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

³⁹Therefore they ^(C)could not believe. For again Isaiah said,

⁴⁰^(D)“He has blinded their eyes
    and ^(E)hardened their heart,
lest they see with their eyes,
    and understand with their heart, and turn,
    and I would heal them.”

⁴¹Isaiah said these things because ^(F)he saw his glory and ^(G)spoke of him. ⁴²Nevertheless, ^(H)many even of the authorities believed in him, but ^(I)for fear of the Pharisees they did not ^(J)confess it, so that they would not be ^(K)put out of the synagogue; ⁴³^(L)for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.

Jesus Came to Save the World

⁴⁴And Jesus cried out and said, ^(M)“Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but ^(N)in him who sent me. ⁴⁵And ^(O)whoever ^(P)sees me sees him who sent me. ⁴⁶^(Q)I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷If anyone ^(R)hears my words and does not keep them, ^(S)I do not judge him; for ^(T)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. ⁴⁸^(U)The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; ^(V)the word that I have spoken will judge him ^(W)on the last day. ⁴⁹For ^(X)I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father ^(Y)who sent me has himself given me ^(Z)a commandment—what to say and what to speak. ⁵⁰And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”
