32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.
33
But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
34
The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
35
Jesus therefore said unto them,
Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36
While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them.
37
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him:
38
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39
For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again,
40
He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them.
41
These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of him.
42
Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43
for they loved the glory [that is] of men more than the glory [that is] of God.
44
And Jesus cried and said,
He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45
And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me.
46
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.
47
And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49
For I spake not from myself; but the Father that sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50
And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak.
