John 12:37-43
Christian Standard Bible

Isaiah’s Prophecies Fulfilled

37 Even though he had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in him. 38 This was to fulfill(A) the word of Isaiah(B) the prophet, who said:[a]

Lord, who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm(C) of the Lord been revealed?[b](D)

39 This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said:

40 He has blinded(E) their eyes
and hardened their hearts,(F)
so that they would not see with their eyes
or understand with their hearts,
and turn,(G)
and I would heal them.[c](H)

41 Isaiah said these things because[d] he saw his glory(I) and spoke about him.

42 Nevertheless, many did believe in him even among the rulers,(J) but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, so that they would not be banned from the synagogue. 43 For they loved human praise(K) more than praise from God.(L)

John 12:37-43
New American Standard Bible

37 But though He had performed so many [a]signs in their sight, they still were not believing in Him. 38 This happened so that the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke would be fulfilled: “(A)Lord, who has believed our report? 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.
