John 12:38-40
English Standard Version
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?”
39 Therefore 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.”
Acts 28:23-27
English Standard Version
23 When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening (A)he expounded to them, testifying to (B)the kingdom of God and (C)trying to convince them about Jesus (D)both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets. 24 And (E)some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved. 25 And disagreeing among themselves, they departed after Paul had made one statement: (F)“The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:
26 (G)“‘Go to this people, and say,
(H)“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
27 (I)For this people's heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and (J)turn, and I would heal them.’
John 6:64-65
English Standard Version
64 But (A)there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus (B)knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and (C)who it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, “This is why I told you (D)that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”

English Standard Version
11 “But my people did not listen to my voice;
Israel (A)would not submit to me.
12 So I (B)gave them over to their (C)stubborn hearts,
to follow their own (D)counsels.
