John Chapter 12 Verse 40He hath 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.

Jesus answered and said, ‹This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.›

‹Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.›

‹And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all› [men] ‹unto me.›

Then Jesus said unto them, ‹Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.›

But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

Jesus cried and said, ‹He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.›

‹And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.›

‹I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.›

‹And 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.›

‹He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.›

‹For 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.›

‹And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.›
