John 12:37-44

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on John 12:37-44

37Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.
38This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:
“Lord, who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:
40“He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their hearts,
so that they cannot see with their eyes,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn,
and I would heal them.”
41Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
42Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.
43For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
44Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.
