John 12:39-41
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
39 For this reason they could not believe, because again Isaiah said:
40 “He blinded their eyes
and hardened their heart,
so that they might not see with their eyes
and understand with their heart and be converted,
and I would heal them.”(A)
41 Isaiah said this because he saw his glory[a] and spoke about him.(B)

New International Version
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)
