John 12:37-43

Matthew(i) 37 And though he had done so many myracles before them, yet beleued not they on hym, 38 that the saiynge of Esayas the Prophete myght be fulfylled, that he spake. Lorde, who shall beleue our saiyng? And to whome is the arme of the Lorde opened? 39 Therfore coulde they not beleue, because that Esayas sayth agayne: 40 he hath blynded theyr eyes and hardened theyr hertes, that they shoulde not se with theyr eyes, and vnderstand with theyr hertes, and shoulde be conuerted, and I shoulde heale them. 41 Such thynges said Esayas when he sawe hys glorye, and spake of hym. 42 Neuerthelesse among the chief rulers many beleued on hym. But because of that Pharyses they woulde not be a knowen of it, least they shoulde be excommunicate, 43 for they loued the prayse, that is geuen of men, more then the prayse that commeth of God.
