12:41 In context, Is 6:10 wasn’t even a prediction, much less one about Jesus. But Jews recognized typological as well as predictive prophecy. Typology is the repetition of a significant pattern of God’s activity in redemptive history that can properly be ascribed only to him. Isaiah did make predictions about the Messiah on numerous occasions, and the context of Is 6 looked beyond the present, evil generation of Isaiah, so it is understandable why John would believe that Isaiah previewed Jesus’s glory.
