Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 12
³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
⁴⁰ "He has blinded their eyes and He hardened their heart, so that they would not see with their eyes and perceive with their heart, and be converted and I heal them."
⁴¹ These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him.
⁴² Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue;
⁴³ for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.
⁴⁴ And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.
⁴⁵ He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.
⁴⁶ I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.
⁴⁷ If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
⁴⁸ He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.
⁴⁹ For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.
