:08:01
Even though he had performed
all these miracles in their presence...
:08:06
they did not believe in him...
:08:08
so that what the prophet lsaiah had said
might come true:
:08:12
"Lord, who believed the message we told?
:08:16
"To whom did the Lord reveal his power?"
:08:20
And so, they were not able to believe,
because lsaiah also said:
:08:24
"God has blinded their eyes
and closed their minds...
:08:28
"so that their eyes would not see,
and their minds would not understand...
:08:31
"and they would not turn to me," says God...
:08:34
"for me to heal them. "
:08:40
Isaiah said this because
he saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him.
:08:49
Even then, many of the Jewish authorities
believed in Jesus...
:08:53
but because of the Pharisees,
they did not talk about it openly...
:08:57
so as not to be expelled
from the synagogue.
:09:00
They loved human approval
rather than the approval of God.
:09:05
Jesus said in a loud voice:
:09:08
Whoever believes in me
believes not only in me...
:09:11
but also in him who sent me.
:09:13
Whoever sees me
sees also him who sent me.
:09:19
I have come into the world as light...
:09:22
so that everyone who believes in me
should not remain in the darkness.
:09:26
If people hear my message
and do not obey it...
:09:29
I will not judge them.
:09:31
I came not to judge the world,
but to save it.
:09:35
Those who reject me
and do not accept my message...
:09:39
have one who will judge them.
:09:41
The words I have spoken
will be their judge on the last day.
:09:47
This is true because I have not spoken
on my own authority.
:09:51
But the Father who sent me...
:09:53
has commanded me
what I must say and speak.
:09:56
And I know that his command
brings eternal life.
