John 12:41-43

New American Standard Bible

⁴¹ These things Isaiah said because ^(A)he saw His glory, and ^(B)he spoke about Him. ⁴² Nevertheless ^(C)many, even of ^(D)the rulers, believed in Him, but ^(E)because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, so that they would not be ^(F)excommunicated from the synagogue; ^43 (G)for they loved the ^[a]approval of people rather than the ^[b]approval of God.
