John 12:35-40

35 So Jesus said to them, "¹For a little while longer ²the Light is among you. ³Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who ⁴walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

36 "While you have the Light, ⁵believe in the Light, so that you may become ⁶sons of Light." These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and ⁷hid Himself from them.

37 But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.

38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: "⁸LORD, 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 "⁹HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE ¹⁰HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO * THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM"
