37
yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,
38
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, `Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord -- to whom was it revealed?'
39
Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
40
`He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'
41
these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

43
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44
And Jesus cried and said, `He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;
45
and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;
46
I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me -- in the darkness may not remain;
47
and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I -- I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48
`He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day,
49
because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
50
and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.'
