But though He had performed such great miracles in their presence, they did not believe in Him--
38
in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, "Lord, who has believed our preaching? And the arm of the Lord--to whom has it been unveiled?"
39
For this reason they were unable to believe--because Isaiah said again,
40
"He has blinded their eyes and made their minds callous, lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their minds, and should turn, and I should heal them."
41
Isaiah uttered these words because he saw His glory; and he spoke of Him.
42

43
For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than the glory that comes from God.
44
But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not so much in me, as in Him who sent me;
45
and he who sees me sees Him who sent me.
46
I have come like light into the world, in order that no one who believes in me may remain in the dark.
