3. Religion’s Unbelief and Blindness
Jesus said these things, and He went away and was? hidden from them.
to the Unbelieving Religion
Jesus said these things, and He went away and was? hidden from them.
- But though He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe into Him,
- That the word of the prophet Isaiah which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
- For this reason they could not believe, because again Isaiah said,
- He has blinded their eyes and He hardened their heart, that they might not see with their eyes and understand with their heart and turn, and I will heal them.
- These things said Isaiah because he saw His glory and spoke concerning Him.
- Nevertheless even many of the rulers believed into Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue;
- For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
to the Unbelieving Religion
- But Jesus cried out and said, He who believes into Me does not believe into Me, but into Him who sent Me;
- And he who beholds Me beholds Him who sent Me.
- I have come as a light into the world, that every one who believes into Me would not remain in darkness.
- And if anyone hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
- He who rejects Me and does not receive My words has one who judges him; the word which I have spoken, that will judge him in the last day.
- For I have not spoken from Myself; but the Father who sent Me, He Himself has given Me commandment, what to say and what to speak.
- And I know that His commandment is eternal life. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father has said to Me, so I speak.
