36. “While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you become sons of light.” These words יהושע spoke, and went off and was hidden from them.
37. But though He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him,
38. that the word of Yeshayahu the prophet might be filled, which he spoke, “יהוה, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of יהוה been revealed?”
39. Because of this they were unable to believe, because again Yeshayahu said:
40. “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they should not see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and turn, and I should heal them.”
41. Yeshayahu said this when he saw His esteem and spoke of Him.
42. Still, even among the rulers many did believe in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the congregation,
43. for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of Elohim.
44. Then יהושע cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me.
45. “And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.
46. “I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me should stay in darkness.
47. “And if anyone hears My Words but does not watch over them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.
48. “He who rejects Me, and does not receive My Words, has one who judges him: the Word that I have spoken shall judge him in the last day.
49. “Because I spoke not from Myself, but the Father who sent Me has given Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
50. “And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, as the Father has said to Me, so I speak.”
