Light in the Darkness

47. John 12: 37Even though He had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in Him. 38But this was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet, who said: ‘Lord, who has believed our message? And who has the arm of the Lord been revealed to?’

50. 39This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said: 40‘He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they would not see with their eyes or understand with their hearts, and be converted, and I would heal them.’

51. 41Isaiah said these things because he saw His glory and spoke about Him. 42Nevertheless, many did believe in Him even among the rulers, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, so they would not be banned from the synagogue. 43For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

54. 44Then Jesus cried out, “The one who believes in Me believes not in Me, but in Him who sent Me. 45And the one who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me would not remain in darkness.
