Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 12
⁴⁰ "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them."
⁴¹ These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.
⁴² Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;
⁴³ for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
⁴⁴ Then Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me.
⁴⁵ And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.
⁴⁶ I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.
⁴⁷ And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, 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 words, has that which judges him--the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.
⁴⁹ For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
⁵⁰ And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak."
