John 12:35–50

35Then Jesus said to them, Yet a lit­tle while is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, lest dark­ness come on you: for he that walks in dark­ness knows not where he goes. 36While you have light, believe in the light, that you may be the chil­dren of light. These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and did hide him­self from them. 37But though he had done so many mir­a­cles before them, yet they believed not on him: 38That the say­ing of Esa­ias the prophet might be ful­filled, which he spoke, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 39There­fore they could not believe, because that Esa­ias said again, 40He has blinded their eyes, and hard­ened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor under­stand with their heart, and be con­verted, and I should heal them. 41These things said Esa­ias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. 42Nev­er­the­less among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Phar­isees they did not con­fess him, lest they should be put out of the syn­a­gogue: 43For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 44Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me. 45And he that sees me sees him that sent me. 46I am come a light into the world, that who­ever believes on me should not abide in dark­ness. 47And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spo­ken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 49For I have not spo­ken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a com­mand­ment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50And I know that his com­mand­ment is life ever­last­ing: what­ever I speak there­fore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak.
