36. While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may be sons of the Light." Jesus spoke these things, and then he went away and hid himself from them.
37. And although he had done such great signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,
38. so that the word of the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, which says: "Lord, who has believed in our hearing? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
39. Because of this, they were not able to believe, for Isaiah said again:
40. "He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, so that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted: and then I would heal them."
41. These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory and was speaking about him.
42. Yet truly, many of the leaders also believed in him. But because of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, so that they would not be cast out of the synagogue.
43. For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44. But Jesus cried out and said: "Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
45. And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
46. I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness.
47. And if anyone has heard my words and not kept them, I do not judge him. For I did not come so that I may judge the world, but so that I may save the world.
48. Whoever despises me and does not accept my words has one who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on the last day.
49. For I am not speaking from myself, but from the Father who sent me. He gave a commandment to me as to what I should say and how I should speak.
