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]
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 Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
37 Although he had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in him. 38 This was to fulfill the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah:
“Lord, who has believed our message,
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”(A)
39 And so they could not believe, because Isaiah also said,
40 “He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their heart,
so that they might not look with their eyes
and understand with their heart and turn—
and I would heal them.”(B)
41 Isaiah said this because[a] he saw his glory and spoke about him.(C) 42 Nevertheless many, even of the authorities, believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue,(D) 43 for they loved human glory more than the glory that comes from God.
