But though he (Jesus) had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: That the saying of Esaias (Isaiah) the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake;

“Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?“

Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again;

“He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.“

These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

John 12:37-43

…let the word of Christ dwell (take up its life) in you richly…
