Yeshua said to them, "The light will be with you only a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, or the dark will overtake you; he who walks in the dark doesn't know where he's going.
36
While you have the light, put your trust in the light, so that you may become people of light." Yeshua said these things, then went off and kept himself hidden from them.
37
Even though he had performed so many miracles in their presence, they still did not put their trust in him,
38
in order that what Yesha`yahu the prophet had said might be fulfilled, "ADONAI, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of ADONAI been revealed?"
39
The reason they could not believe was -- as Yesha`yahu said elsewhere --
40
"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they do not see with their eyes, understand with their hearts, and do t'shuvah, so that I could heal them."
41
(Yesha`yahu said these things because he saw the Sh'khinah of Yeshua and spoke about him.)
42
Nevertheless, many of the leaders did trust in him; but because of the P'rushim they did not say so openly, out of fear of being banned from the synagogue;
43
for they loved praise from other people more than praise from God.
44
Yeshua declared publicly, "Those who put their trust in me are trusting not merely in me, but in the One who sent me.
45
Also those who see me see the One who sent me.
