John 12:39-43

Rotherham(i) 39 On this account, they could not believe, because, again, said Isaiah–– 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and should understand with their heart, and should turn,––and I should heal them. 41 These things, said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.
42 Nevertheless, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on him; but, because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him, lest, excommunicants from the synagogue, they should be made; 43 for they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of God.
