John 12:42 BBE

⁴⁰  He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.

⁴¹  (Isaiah said these words because he saw his glory. His words were about him.)

⁴²  However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

⁴³  For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.

⁴⁴  Then Jesus said with a loud voice, He who has faith in me, has faith not in me, but in him who sent me.
