John 12:37-40

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Isaiah Is Fulfilled: God Blinded Their Eyes And Hardened Their Hearts

³⁷ Now He having done so-many^[a] signs in front of them^[b]— they were not believing in Him, ³⁸ in order that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled which he spoke [in Isa 53:1]: “Lord, who believed our report? And to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?” ³⁹ For this reason^[c] they were not able to believe: because again Isaiah said [in Isa 6:10] ⁴⁰ “He has blinded their eyes, and He hardened their heart, in order that they might not see with their eyes, and comprehend in their heart, and be turned, and I shall heal them”.
