John 12:39-41
Contemporary English Version
John 12:39-41
Contemporary English Version
39 The people could not have faith in Jesus, because Isaiah had also said,
40 (A) “The Lord has blinded
the eyes of the people,
and he has made
the people stubborn.
He did this so that they
could not see
or understand,
and so that they
would not turn to the Lord
and be healed.”
41 Isaiah said this, because he saw the glory of Jesus and spoke about him.[a]

39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:

and hardened their hearts,
so they can neither see with their eyes,
nor understand with their hearts,
nor turn—and I would heal them.”[a](A)
41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory(B) and spoke about him.(C)
