John 12:37-50

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

37 Jesus had done many miraculous signs before the people, but they didn't believe in him.

38 This was to fulfill the word of the prophet Isaiah: Lord, who has believed through our message? To whom is the arm of the Lord fully revealed?

39 Isaiah explains why they couldn't believe:

40 He made their eyes blind and closed their minds so that they might not see with their eyes, understand with their minds, and turn their lives around— and I would heal them.

41 Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus' glory; he spoke about Jesus.

42 Even so, many leaders believed in him, but they wouldn't acknowledge their faith because they feared that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue.

43 They believed, but they loved human praise more than God's glory.

44 Jesus shouted, "Whoever believes in me doesn't believe in me but in the one who sent me.

45 Whoever sees me sees the one who sent me.

46 I have come as a light into the world so that everyone who believes in me won't live in darkness.

47 If people hear my words and don't keep them, I don't judge them. I didn't come to judge the world but to save it.

48 Whoever rejects me and doesn't receive my words will be judged at the last day by the word I have spoken.

49 I don't speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me regarding what I should speak and say.

50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. Therefore, whatever I say is just as the Father has said to me."

New International Version NIV

37 Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him.

38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:

40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.”

41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him.

42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;

43 for they loved human praise more than praise from God.

44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.

45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.

46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.

49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.

50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”
